Sustainable Water Extraction on Campus

SDGs




To restore the Liou Gong Canal, NTU has combined the old canal with Liugongjun Pool, incorporating a natural form of pool design with floating islands and aquatic plant communities. Diverse habitat structures support various species and their habitat needs. By integrating irrigation canals and aquatic plant ecosystems, this initiative enhances agricultural water management and water quality education. The water source for Liugongjun Pool is derived from the drainage of the Life Science Building's raft foundation, allowing for water retention and nurturing of various species. This approach contributes to microclimate regulation, reduced heat radiation, flood control, and disaster prevention.

Around Drunken Moon Lake, buildings such as the Department of Mathematics, Mathematics Research Center Building, Xinsheng Lecture Building, Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences, Putong Lecture Building, Recreation Center, and Swimming Pool have installed rainwater harvesting systems. These systems collect approximately 43 tons of rainwater daily, which is used for replenishing Drunken Moon Lake. This not only conserves water resources but also improves the water quality and ecology of the lake.
