Water Reuse Policy
King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok (KMUTNB) is committed to sustainable water management by implementing policies that maximize water reuse across all campuses. The university promotes efficient use of water resources through rainwater harvesting, wastewater recycling, and innovative treatment technologies to reduce freshwater consumption and environmental impact.
KMUTNB integrates water reuse practices into campus operations, research, and teaching, encouraging students, staff, and the wider community to adopt sustainable water habits. By monitoring usage, evaluating efficiency, and continuously improving systems, the university contributes to national and global efforts under SDG 6 to ensure clean water availability, promote sanitation, and foster a culture of responsible water stewardship for present and future generations.
KMUTNB is committed to monitoring and enhancing the reuse of water across all campuses to promote sustainable resource management and reduce dependence on freshwater supplies. The university will establish a comprehensive water reuse monitoring program to measure the volume and percentage of reused water in comparison to total water consumption. This program will cover all key facilities, including laboratories, dormitories, canteens, and green spaces.
The university installs smart metering systems and water flow sensors to track recycled water use in real time , particularly from rainwater harvesting systems, greywater recycling units, and cooling system condensate recovery. Data collected will be analyzed regularly to identify opportunities for efficiency improvement and to set measurable targets for increased water reuse.

Assistant Professor Preecha Ongaree, Dean of the College of Industrial Technology, presided over the opening ceremony of the project “Wastewater Treatment for Water Reuse (Green University)” (CIT GREEN DAY) held at the courtyard in front of Building 42, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The project aims to treat community wastewater from the Khlong Bangkhen Mai area to enable water reuse in alignment with the university’s Green University Policy. As part of the event, administrators, faculty members, staff, and students participated in a tree-planting activity, planting a total of 150 trees, using treated water from the project for irrigation.
