Jakarta, November 2024 - Jakarta State University is committed to sustainable resource management, this is strengthened by water conservation efforts through the implementation of various water-saving devices in the Campus A environment. This initiative is part of the university's strategy to instill a water-saving culture among the academic community and support sustainable development goals (SDGs).

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, UNJ has installed water-saving hand washing faucets at various strategic points on campus. This sensor-based automatic faucet is able to stop the water flow automatically a few seconds after use, thereby preventing waste of clean water. In addition, flush toilet systems in several buildings now use dual flush technology which allows users to choose the volume of water according to their needs, saving up to 50 percent compared to conventional systems.

In managing green spaces, UNJ also uses recycled water from the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) to water the gardens in the morning and evening. This step not only reduces the use of clean water, but also supports the principle of reuse in campus water management.

UNJ's new and renovated buildings are now equipped with water-saving sanitation equipment, such as low-pressure showers and sinks, as well as piping systems designed to minimize leaks and water loss. Some examples of equipment used include cisternizers (automatic flush controls for urinals), waterless urinals, low-flush toilets, and low-flow and automatic faucets.

Of the total devices used, the average efficiency level reached 63 percent, with details of 60 percent for the toilet and 66 percent for the sink.

This effort confirms UNJ's commitment to creating an environmentally friendly campus that is oriented towards resource efficiency and provides concrete examples of implementing sustainability in the daily activities of the academic community.
