Clean Water and Sanitation
Clean Water and Sanitation
The institution maintains a well-planned water management and sanitation system that ensures reliable access to clean water throughout the campus. Purified drinking water facilities are installed across academic blocks, hostels, and recreational areas. Regular water quality testing and maintenance checks guarantee safety and hygiene. A structured sanitation system supports cleanliness in classrooms, laboratories, and restrooms. Dedicated housekeeping teams follow daily cleaning schedules, ensuring high hygiene standards. Wastewater is managed responsibly through drainage and treatment systems to prevent contamination. Awareness campaigns promote water conservation among students and staff, fostering responsible usage. Clean, well-maintained restrooms, proper waste segregation, and eco-friendly cleaning practices reflect the institution’s commitment to public health. The systematic management of water and sanitation not only safeguards health but also educates students on sustainable living and civic responsibility.

1. Water resource utilization
Waste Water Treatment Process Involved in the Institution:
At the Sri Eshwar College of Engineering (SECE) campus, the IoT sensor–enabled Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) operates with an effective treatment capacity of 3 lakh litres per day, ensuring sustainable wastewater management. The system integrates smart monitoring and automated controls to continuously track key water quality parameters such as pH, turbidity, temperature, flow rate, and daily inlet volume, which averages 272,000 litres per day.
The STP follows a sludge-free treatment process using advanced biological and filtration techniques, eliminating disposal challenges while enhancing operational efficiency. The treated water, amounting to an annual reuse of approximately 3.3 crores litres, is effectively utilized for toilet flushing and landscape irrigation, significantly reducing freshwater consumption and reinforcing sustainable campus practices.

2. Reverse Osmosis (RO) plant
Sri Eshwar College of Engineering has installed a comprehensive Reverse Osmosis (RO) plant system with a capacity of 15,000 litres per day to ensure a continuous supply of safe and potable water across the campus. Raw water is sourced daily from the bore-well system and treated at a rate of 3,000 litres per hour, ensuring reliable and uninterrupted purification. The RO system operates at a total running voltage of 290 V with an inlet pressure maintained between 150–170 psi to achieve optimal filtration efficiency. The raw water TDS of 935 ppm is reduced to 700- 735 ppm after primary treatment. Following RO purification, the final treated water attains a high-quality standard with a TDS in the range of 50–75 ppm, making it suitable for safe consumption. Advanced monitoring mechanisms ensure that water quality parameters such as Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), pH, and pressure remain within the desired limits.
3.Community water management
Sri Eshwar College of Engineering has established a comprehensive Reverse Osmosis (RO) Plant System to ensure the continuous supply of safe and purified water across the entire campus. The total daily water consumption across the campus is approximately 4 lakh litres which is efficiently managed through the RO system’s integrated purification and distribution infrastructure to ensure reliable and safe water supply to all campus facilities, including academic blocks, laboratories, hostels, canteens, kitchens, and dedicated drinking water stations. Through this initiative, Sri Eshwar College of Engineering reaffirms its strong commitment to health, safety, and environmental sustainability by ensuring the availability of clean and safe water for daily use.
