The use of water is affected by the campus population which varies in ITU due to its public facilities. Along with students and employees, many local people enter the university campuses throughout the day. Therefore, the amount of water and energy use is greatly affected by the visitors’ activities.

Water measure and monitoring

ITU as a body has a Water Management Directive, which protects water resources on the campus and prevents polluted water from entering the water system. In this way, water systems are not affected by any kind of failure. All infrastructures about stormwater and wastewater are separated from each other.

 

Wastewater Treatment

The whole generated wastewater is collected from the buildings and conveyed out of the campus. The collected wastewater is received by Baltalimanı Wastewater Treatment Plant which is operated by Istanbul Water and Sewerage Administration.

In ITU, water is treated according to LEED standards. Two new buildings (Information Technologies and Agro – Informatics Research Center Buildings) on the campus have applications to get a LEED certification and the water use is minimised according to LEED standards.
