Rainwater Harvesting

UKM measures the consumption of water supplied from the main supplier or from underground water sources. Each faculty and college, water use will be monitored for every month. The main reservoir of treated water in UKM located in Neighborhoods 1 and 2. The water supply is treated by LUAS and it is a source of clean water supply for UKM citizens.

In addition, UKM applies technological membrane treatment. Recycling cooperation and reuse water with UKM-YSD (Sustainability) (Sime Darby Foundation) Membrane treatment seems to be one of the most effective used as a technology in wastewater treatment systems and a relatively high recovery rate height. Furthermore, to further improve the water quality up to the standard can be reused and recycled, it is suggested that the process membrane (nano filtration/reverse osmosis – NF/RO) with appropriate pretreatment used to further treat the effluent after the previous process uses algae.
