Eco-Friendly Campus is the manifestation of a safe, comfortable, and orderly campus environment for conducting educational activities; and carrying out security and safety at work that can protect residents and workers who are working at Unpad as well as the community around the campus environment; and conserving water and energy resources, so that they can support a dynamic, sustainable campus life atmosphere by meeting the green campus criteria. Water use includes: planning, controlling, and using groundwater resources through technology management and behavior change, restoring and maintaining sources of deep ground water, surface ground water, and surface water with the principle of water conservation so as to ensure their availability for continuous teaching and learning activities.
Conservation and management of water resources are unrestricted and can be reduced or increased according to the typology and needs of the campus by:
- Performing efficient use of clean water by using technology and changing behavior;
- Conserving water resources in water catchment areas and the campus environment through technology and vegetative multi programs as well as changes in land/soil use patterns;
- Protection and maintenance of water spring areas and water spring buffer areas within the campus environment and management of groundwater resource utilization;
- Building and maintaining water retention areas within the campus, constructing infiltration wells, and manufacturing of biopores and rainwater harvesting systems;
- Applying the zero-runoff principle to the development of infrastructure and buildings in the campus environment by optimizing infiltration wells and rainwater harvesting ponds;
- Building new water reservoirs and maintaining Check Dam (Leuwi Padjadjaran 1), Fishery Reservoir Pond (Leuwi Padjadjaran 2), and Ciparanje Retention Basin (Leuwi Padjadjaran 3);
- Using water from waste treatment with the principles of reuse and recycle to reduce the uses of clean water for firefighting, watering plants, and other activities;
Drainage water for irrigation in the rice fields
The Unpad pond collects and stores drainage water for irrigation in the rice fields, planting areas, and experimental gardens on Unpad’s Jatinangor Campus. A pump in the basin distributes water exclusively for irrigation in the rice fields located east of the Unpad campus.
Utilization of Water from Surface Runoff Harvesting System for Irrigation and Fisheries
In addition to collecting rainwater from building rooftops, it is also possible to utilize surface runoff from land surfaces as a source of irrigation water during times of drought or water scarcity.
