The Physical Plants at Facilities Management on both campuses handle the measurement and management of water consumption and expenditure.
University water sources are as follows:
- Domestic Cold Water supply from the municipality cold water (metered)
- Domestic Cold Water supply from tankers with suitable TDS (quantified)
- On site brackish Well Water (estimated through well water pumps runtimes)
- Wastewater reuse from treatment plants for irrigation (metered)
- Rainwater reuse in some buildings (metered / estimated)
- Condensate drain reuse in some buildings (estimated)
