Water consumption per person
Water consumption on campuses (such as university or corporate ones) refers
to the amount of water consumed by students, staff, and others on campus for
various needs: drinking, cooking, cleaning, cooling, sanitation, and so on.
This is an important aspect of sustainable resource management, which often
includes measures to reduce water consumption, increase water reuse, and make
efficient use of it.
The ratio of water to the total number of workers or students on campus
depends on a variety of factors, including:
Number of people – the more people on campus,
the greater the water consumption.
Types of facilities – canteens, sports
facilities, laboratories, etc. where water is used more actively.
Sustainable practices – implementation of water
conservation systems
To estimate the ratio of water to the total number of employees or
students, a unit of measurement is usually used, such as liters of water per person per day.
For a more detailed approach,
individual consumption factors can be calculated at the campus level,
such as how much water is consumed per person for drinking, how much for
sanitation, and what is the total load on the water supply system.
Our
university has implemented an important project aimed at improving the
efficiency of water resources use. As part of this initiative, modern water
meters were installed in academic buildings and dormitories. These devices
allow you to collect real-time data on water consumption in various buildings
on campus.
The main
goal of implementing meters is to get an accurate idea of the average water
consumption per person, including students, teachers and employees. The data
collected from these devices allows you to not only track the total amount of
water used, but also identify consumption patterns in individual buildings,
such as laboratory buildings, canteens, or residential areas.
Tag-based monitoring enabled
you to:
Analyze
water consumption in the context of different
buildings, identifying areas with increased or, conversely, minimal consumption.
Develop
targeted cost-cutting measures, such as installing
water-efficient plumbing, optimizing irrigation systems, or raising user
awareness about resource conservation.
Monitor
leaks and malfunctions-meters allow you to quickly
detect abnormal increases in water consumption, which indicates possible
technical problems.
Plan water
resources for the futurebased on accurate usage data.
The
implementation of this system contributes not only to saving water, but also
creates a sustainable culture of rational use of resources among the members of
the university community. This is a step towards improving the environmental
situation, as well as an example of effective water resources management in
educational institutions
After that, our university
installed aerators for all the cranes of our university,
эincluding the small device that is installed on the end of the crane. The
aerator mixes water with air, reducing its flow rate without losing pressure.
In addition, it helps to reduce splashes and makes the jet softer. The aerator
helps to save up to 50% of water, and in some cases even more-up to 70%,
depending on the model and type of use. For example: A standard faucet without
an aerator consumes about 12-15 liters of water per minute. With the aerator,
this consumption can be reduced to 6-8 liters per minute, while maintaining the
comfort of use. Efficiency depends on how often and for what purposes water is
used.
The National Research University
"TIIAME"organized a significant event dedicated to the
World Water Day, which is celebrated on March 22. As part of this
initiative, on March 15 of this year, together with other organizations,
competitions were held among students in several areas.
One of the main
events was a video contest under the slogan "Water is not
free", organized within the framework of the national project on
water resources management in Uzbekistan, funded by the Swiss Agency
for Development and Cooperation.
The
pride of our university was a student of the Faculty of
"Energy", group 106 of the direction "Renewable
Energy sources", Ziyodullayev Shokhzhakhon, who
won a prize in the competition. His work, which reflects the importance of
careful treatment of water resources, was highly appreciated by the jury.
The organizers noted the success of Shohjahon,
presenting him with a certificate and valuable gifts. This event was not only a
recognition of his talent, but also an important step in drawing the attention of
young people to the problems of rational use of water resources.

Our university, the National Research University "TIIAME", organized a major scientific event, which became an important milestone in the development of international scientific and technical cooperation. Together with the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Department of International Cooperation of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China and Xinjiang Tianye Water Saving Irrigation Co., Ltd., we held a scientific seminar on "Highly efficient water saving technologies in agriculture".
The seminar was devoted to one of the most relevant topics for modern agriculture — rational use of water resources. Given climate change, population growth, and increased pressure on natural resources, the introduction of advanced water-saving technologies is becoming vital for ensuring food security and sustainable development.
The workshop was aimed at solving the following tasks:
Exchange of experience between countries: |
Representatives
of Uzbekistan and China shared their knowledge and practical practices in the
field of water conservation. This allowed us to identify opportunities for
implementing successful Chinese technologies in Uzbekistan |
Presentation of innovative solutions: |
Private
participants of the seminar presented advanced technologies, such as: New
generation drip irrigation systems. Intelligent
platforms for monitoring and managing water use. Energy-efficient
materials that reduce water losses during irrigation. |
Joint research: |
Discussion
of plans to create joint research and educational projects between our
countries and universities aimed at developing sustainable development
technologies. |
Strengthening international relations: |
By
collaborating with world leaders in the field of science and technology, our
University takes a step towards expanding its scientific horizons, which
opens up new prospects for students and teachers.аш университет, сотрудничая
с мировыми лидерами в области науки и технологий, делает шаг к расширению
своих научных горизонтов, что открывает новые перспективы для студентов и
преподавателей. |
Issues
related to: |
Sustainable
water resources management in a changing climate. |
Economic
efficiency of implementing water-saving technologies in agriculture. |
|
Adaptation
of modern technologies to the conditions of Central Asia. |
We are confident that the results of this workshop will form the basis for long-term scientific and technological achievements that will benefit not only our country, but also the entire region. Our university continues to strive for further improvement in its educational and research mission, providing a contribution to solving global challenges!
