In robust commitment to environmental stewardship, Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) has adopted cutting-edge sustainable water extraction technologies on and off campus, reinforcing its dedication to responsible resource management. With an emphasis on minimizing environmental impact and preserving local water sources, UNAIR employs a combination of high-efficiency systems, rainwater harvesting, and digital monitoring to optimize water usage.

High-Efficiency Groundwater Pumping on Campus

UNAIR's groundwater extraction on campus is powered by high-efficiency pumping technology designed to conserve energy and reduce the strain on local aquifers. These advanced pumps not only lower energy consumption but also mitigate the impact of water extraction on the surrounding environment. By carefully controlling groundwater use, UNAIR balances its water needs with sustainable practices.

The university's on-campus water management approach also includes a rainwater harvesting system equipped with advanced filtration technology. Installed across various buildings, this system captures and filters rainwater, significantly reducing the university's dependence on groundwater. The captured rainwater is utilized for various non-potable uses, such as landscape irrigation, which lessens the overall burden on natural water reserves.

Lake Conservation and Biodiversity at Campus C

A key feature of UNAIR's sustainable water initiatives is the lake on Campus C, which serves as a natural rainwater catchment and supports local biodiversity. By maintaining this lake as a natural water resource, UNAIR not only enhances campus green spaces but also contributes to the health of local systems. This approach exemplifies UNAIR's dedication to integrating ecological balance with its resource management practices, providing a habitat for local flora and fauna and reinforcing natural hydrological cycles.

Off-Campus Borewell Technology with Community Partnership in Bondowoso

Borewell UNAIR

In collaboration with the community of Bondowoso, UNAIR has extended its sustainable water practices beyond campus boundaries. The university operates a borewell equipped with energy-saving pumps and digital monitoring in Purnama Village, ensuring water extraction remains within safe limits to protect local aquifers. This borewell project has become a critical resource for residents, supplying clean water efficiently and sustainably.

The borewell's digital monitoring technology tracks a real-time water extraction, preventing over-extraction and enabling data-driven management. This off-campus initiative underscores UNAIR's role in community engagement and environmental responsibility, providing the Bondowoso community with reliable, sustainably sourced water and setting a model for university-community partnerships in resource conservation.

By integrating sustainable water extraction technologies and and expanding its reach through community partnerships, Universitas Airlangga sets a high standard in water conservation and resource management. These initiatives contribute a significantly to the university's environmental goals, making it a leader in sustainable practices within higher education.
