The suggested procedures to ensure the prevention of any pollution occurring on campus are outlined in the water conservation policy. Additionally, the Engineering Unit does recurrent studies at two water outputs in conjunction with the university general chemistry lab. The primary water source is the first exit, while the water from the tanks holding treated water is the second.  For the water coming from the primary water source (the national water grid) and the recharging wells, the aforementioned tests are carried out every two weeks. The water from the tanks that provide the buildings with water is subjected to the same tests once a week.

Description

The Al-Esraa University makes great use of water-saving appliances. These gadgets include drip watering systems for the exterior green spaces as well as ingenious faucets in the restrooms. By using these water-saving gadgets, water waste has been cut in half. The information on these appliances is provided below.

1. WATER ENERGY FLUSH BAINS

Flushing basins were transformed into effective flushing basins in addition to motion-censored faucets. Less than 2 liters of water are needed to flush these water-saving basins fully.

2. LOW-FLOW SHOWER HEADS AND SMALL-FLOW NOZZLES

The engineering department is replacing the hoses in the restrooms with more effective shut-off nozzles to conserve water. Low-flow shower heads have been installed in every shower unit at the University in an effort to reduce water usage.

3. SPRINKLER IRRIGATION SYSTEMS

 Year after year, Al-Esraa University is expanding in its total area as well as its external green areas. Green areas are important to any campus as they are known for their pleasant to the eye scenery, stress relief, and for their positive environmental impact. Expanding these green areas require increased amounts of water for their irrigation. Therefore, not only drought tolerant vegetation has been used extensively in these areas, but also modern irrigation systems were used as well. Sprinkler irrigation systems as well as irrigation by dripping were used to achieve an efficient irrigation process with the least amount of water possible.

Water scarcity in Iraq is a serious problem for both urban and rural communities. However, due to the drought, high-rise infrastructure, population growth, a lack of planning, and other natural and human factors, metropolitan towns are now confronting greater difficulties with their water supply. The threat of climate change to water supplies and resources has led Al-Esraa University to establish a policy that both staff and students must abide by in order to fulfill the policy's single goal of water conservation. The University approaches water from three interconnected perspectives: effective conservation, responsible consumption, and restoring and preserving both surface and groundwater.

2. WATERING UTILITIES

On the campus, numerous motion-activated water appliances have been installed. All W/C units on the campus now have access to these appliances. Additionally, historic structures with conventional.

3. Drought-resistant plants

Al-Esraa University is continually growing. The majority of this expansion is located in green spaces, along with the increasing area. The aim has been to increase the green space on campus while decreasing the area of parking lots. However, as there are more green spaces, they need to be watered more frequently. The Engineering Unit has made an effort to use sprinkler irrigation systems to provide an adequate irrigation process with the least quantity of water, citing the water conservation strategy and its implementation. Another element that lowers the amount of water used for irrigation in these expanding green areas is the use of drought-tolerant plants. The date palm tree is a well-known plant that is renowned for its ability to withstand drought. In addition to creating a nice environment, the date palm tree is also productive and an evergreen plant.

4. CAMPAIGNS, EVENTS, AND WORKSHOPS FOR WATER CONSERVATION

Al-Esraa University has played a significant role in organizing efforts to promote water conservation both on and off campus. All buildings have signs erected to promote water saving near water fountains and restrooms. Additionally, various initiatives emphasizing the need to cut back on water use and clean up water sources were run by staff and students.

 

In Iraq Both urban and rural residents have a serious problem with the lack of access to clean water. As a result of the growing threat that climate change poses to water supplies and resources, Al-Esraa University has established a policy that both staff and students must go by in order to accomplish water conservation. The University approaches the topic of water from four interconnected angles: effective conservation, responsible use, surface and groundwater restoration and retention.

FUNDEMENTAL ONE: WATER NUETRALITY BY 2030

 • Water-efficient fixtures shall be installed in all newly constructed or under construction buildings.

• To achieve water neutrality, rainwater should be collected effectively.

FUNDEMENTAL TWO:

 WATER METERING Increase the number of water meters to pinpoint the locations with the highest water usage. Pay close attention to improving water governance by educating employees and students and putting in place ongoing maintenance processes to reduce wastage.

FUNDAMENTAL THREE WATER STORAGE:

 • By 2030, all water that has been preserved but is not needed shall be put into ponds, wells, and storage tanks. It is strongly advised to look for techniques that reduce the evaporation of stored water .Research and awareness comprise Funding Group Four.

• Instruction in water conservation for all parties involved.

• The study of and application of techniques that encourage water use efficiency.

• Offer teachers and students rewards for conserving water and using it wisely.

• Provide instruction on the university adopted water conservation methods to all students, college employees, adjacent communities, and local authorities.

• Ensure that all faculty, staff, and students are aware of the university water conservation policy.

FUNDEMENTAL FIVE PREVENTION OF WATER POLLUTION ON CAMPUS:

 • Washing should be done with non-toxic products.

• Refraining from pouring trash, chemicals, or solvents down sewer drains.

• Septic systems on campus are inspected annually.

• The ongoing search for fresh approaches to stop water contamination.

• Regular checks for contamination in the campus water supply.

 

 

1. Water conservation policy: By the year 2030, a water neutral campus is the goal of the water conservation strategy.
2. Ponds or earthen tanks are used to collect greywater and rainwater. The water is then pumped into treatment facilities to produce potable water. Following treatment, the water is gathered in tanks and pumped to the university water supply. The majority of the treated water is used to irrigate the many green spaces around the University. 
3. The treated greywater serves as the primary water source for fire sprinkler systems and flushing basins. water that has been cleaned up greywater. These machines can create pure water or any other type of water needed for consumption and medical needs.
4. On campus, treated water is used for a variety of purposes. It is used for irrigation, fire sprinkler systems, flushing toilets, and cleaning.
