NCKU manages water resources carefully. In addition to the regular monitoring of campus water consumption, the efficiency of rainwater collection and usage and wastewater recycling are monitored. The water consumption at NCKU in recent years is shown in the figure shown below:
Water-Saving Equipment Upgrades
The school carries out renovation projects and replaces damaged equipment with water-saving labeled products. The current installation rate of such equipment is approximately 57%.
Rainwater Storage and Reuse
The school repurposes the previously abandoned underground tunnel connecting the Chenggong and Guangfu campuses to create a rainwater storage system. Rainwater collected from the Science Building and the Computing Center is stored and used as supplementary water for irrigating Chenggong Lake, Rongyuan Garden, and for flushing toilets in Yunping Building. In 2024, the total amount of recycled water reached 16,888 tons.
Intelligent Water Meter Management System
To quickly detect water usage anomalies (such as leaks) and prevent unnecessary water wastage, the school applied for a subsidy from the Water Resources Agency to establish an intelligent water meter management system at the Guangfu campus. The system monitors flow rate, water level, and water pressure, and generates analytical charts for effective water management.
