Telkom University Strengthens Water Conservation and Smart Innovation on Campus

Environment and Water-Saving Infrastructure

Building construction at Telkom University is carried out in full compliance with water-saving standards as outlined in the university’s sustainability policies. To minimize water usage, the university has installed automatic water sensors on sink faucets and eco-flush buttons in toilets throughout all buildings. These systems ensure that water flows only when necessary, thereby reducing wastage and promoting responsible water consumption among the academic community.

Further reinforcing its environmental responsibility, Telkom University has launched the “Save The Water Now” campaign, a campus-wide awareness program that encourages students, faculty, and staff to actively adopt water-saving behaviors in their daily routines. This movement aims to foster a culture of environmental awareness and collective responsibility in conserving one of the planet’s most vital natural resources.

Smart Agriculture and Water Innovation

Beyond building infrastructure, Telkom University has developed an innovative project called Drip Irrigation for IoT-Based Smart Agriculture, implemented within the university’s greenhouse facilities. This system precisely controls water delivery to plants through advanced sensor technology, ensuring optimal hydration levels while minimizing excessive water use. The innovation demonstrates how IoT and data-driven technology can be effectively integrated into sustainable agriculture, reflecting Telkom University’s ongoing pursuit of technological solutions for environmental challenges.

Commitment to a Sustainable Future

Through the combination of advanced water management systems, awareness campaigns, and smart technology integration, Telkom University not only meets high environmental and sustainability standards but also sets a benchmark for how innovation and consciousness can work hand in hand to build a more sustainable future.

The university’s ongoing initiatives exemplify its role as a leader in promoting responsible resource management within the higher education sector, aligning closely with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation).
