- Water Supply
NCKU has implemented regular maintenance inspections for buildings and equipment, including water towers, reservoirs, and drinking fountains. These inspections not only focus on the cleanliness of the internal and external components but also require verification of a clutter-free environment and the absence of potential sources of pollution in the vicinity. This ensures the cleanliness and safety of the on-campus water supply.
- Wastewater Discharge
NCKU not only adheres to the "Effluent Standards" established by the Executive Yuan's Environmental Protection Administration but has also formulated internal regulations for wastewater management. These regulations ensure the proper treatment of wastewater from general areas and various laboratories, in line with the goal of preventing water resource pollution. Wastewater generated in laboratories is regularly collected and disposed of each month following proper classification and centralized processing.
- Reducing Plastic Pollution
NCKU has also committed to reducing plastic usage by signing a plastic reduction agreement. This agreement stipulates the reduction of single-use plastic products during meetings to prevent plastic pollution from entering nearby water bodies.
- Water Recycling System
Rainwater and domestic wastewater from various campus locations are treated through eight on-campus rainwater and wastewater treatment facilities. These facilities transform the collected water into a resource for irrigating plants and flowers, achieving not only the prevention of direct wastewater discharge into the water cycle system but also the dual-use efficiency of water resources.
Since the implementation of the "Soil and Groundwater Pollution Remediation Act" in 2000, soil and groundwater quality has gained attention. The Hydraulic Laboratory at NCKU monitors these qualities and investigates suspected pollution sources and extent. Early detection and remediation can save costs and support sustainable environmental development.
