Demonstrating a strong commitment to environmental stewardship, Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) is leading efforts to promote water conservation across its campus. Guided by Rector's Decree No. 1050/UN3/2021 on Green Campus Management, UNAIR has implemented advanced technologies, sustainable landscaping, and awareness campaigns to encourage conscious water usage as part of its journey toward carbon neutrality by 2030.

Cutting-Edge Water Conservation Technology

Automatic water faucet UNAIR

As part of its water-saving initiative, UNAIR has installed 678 sensor-activated faucets in 52% of campus facilities, helping to reduce unnecessary water usage. These faucets automatically control water flow, ensuring that water is only used when needed, effectively minimizing waste and conserving resources. According to UNAIR's Facilities Management Office, this technology has significantly improved water efficiency across restrooms and ablution stations, creating immediate impact on the university's water conservation goals.

Xeriscaping & Drought-Resistant Landscaping

Carbon-Neutral-scaled

UNAIR has also embraced xeriscaping principles in its landscaping strategy, incorporating drought-tolerant plants such as Ficus Benjamina (Balibong) to reduce the need for irrigation. By prioritizing plants that thrive in low-water environments, UNAIR is advancing ots commitment to sustainable water use and supporting its broader Carbon Neutrality initiative. These xeriscaping efforts not only conserve waer but also enhance campus aesthetics with resilient, low-maintenance greenery.

Educational Campaigns and Awareness Efforts

In addition to technology and sustainable landscaping, UNAIR actively promotes water-conscious behavior among its campus community through education signage strategically placed in restrooms, common areas, and ablution facilities. This signage provides reminders and practical tips for reducing water consumption, aiming to foster daily water-saving habits among students, staff, and visitors.

Use Water Wisely

To reach a wider audience, UNAIR also leverages social media campaigns to spread awareness about sustainable water use. Through posts, videos, and infographics, these campaigns highlight the importance of water conservation, provide tips for mindful usage, and encourage the campus community to be proactive in minimizing their water footprint. This approach not only raises awarenes but also integrates water-wise practices into campus culture, engaging students and staff alike.
