Description:
Gray water application is used in 12 student dormitories in Mersin University. Also, the protection of water resources, reduction of water consumption and water saving program are applied extensively in our university. In many buildings, water saving is made by extending the equipment such as censored handwashing taps and photocell urinals. Rain water is also collected in the artificial pond on our campus and used for recreation.
In all 12 dormitories where approximately 6000 students live on campus, gray water is reused in toilets. Thus, approximately 25-30% savings are achieved throughout the campus.
In addition, the water collected from the roofs and the surface is stored in the pools and rainwater tanks and all the vegetation in the campus is irrigated. Thus, 100% water savings are achieved for plant irrigation.
Thanks to these two applications, more than 50% water savings were achieved.
