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:

  1. Domestic Cold Water supply from the municipality cold water (metered)
  2. Domestic Cold Water supply from tankers with suitable TDS (quantified)
  3. On site brackish Well Water (estimated through well water pumps runtimes)
  4. Wastewater reuse from treatment plants for irrigation (metered)
  5. Rainwater reuse in some buildings (metered / estimated)
  6. Condensate drain reuse in some buildings (estimated)
