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:
