Preventing Water System Pollution
BAU champions SDG 6 through a comprehensive and integrated water management system designed to prevent polluted water from entering municipal and natural water sources. Distinct sewage, domestic, and rainwater systems are maintained across all campuses to minimize contamination risks. Urban campuses are connected to municipal sewage networks, while rural and research campuses utilize advanced decentralized wastewater treatment systems, ensuring high-quality effluent and safe reuse.
BAU enforces strict protocols to prevent accidental pollution, including the proper handling and disposal of hazardous materials such as toner cartridges, expired chemicals, and laboratory waste. Staff and students are trained to respond to incidents and spills promptly, reducing the risk of contamination.
Through capacity building, international collaborations, and knowledge transfer, BAU continuously enhances staff and student expertise in water treatment, conservation, and pollution prevention. These measures collectively ensure the protection of water resources, minimize ecological impacts, and demonstrate the university’s proactive and sustainable approach to water management, exceeding standard SDG expectations.
