AASTMT is committed to adopting global building standards aimed at reducing water consumption and actively pursues initiatives to achieve this goal. Measures include:

• Conducting regular maintenance and replacing damaged water taps and connections.
• Every campus is furnished with faucets and toilet flushing systems.
• All water closets, drains, and worn-out feeders have been replaced in 2021-2020 with certified, standardized fixtures. Additionally, all faucets have been equipped with water-saving aerators and water-efficient flush tanks.
• Ensuring the availability of spare parts for immediate repairs, contributing to water conservation efforts.
• Consistently monitoring all toilets and water supply points. In the event of repairs or replacements, adherence to water-saving labels is mandatory for the equipment.
• Promptly responding to emergency reports of water leaks and taking necessary measures until repairs are completed.
• Employing efficient lavatory faucets that limit water flow to a maximum of 6 LPM, reducing sink water usage by up to 30% compared to standard faucets without compromising performance.
• Installing effective lavatory faucets that account for 20% of indoor water consumption.
• Measures include installing aerators to conserve water in toilets and placing informative signs across the campus promoting conscious water usage.
• Incorporating efficient water closets, all dual-flush models, using less than 6 LPF, resulting in substantial water savings.
• Recognizing that water closet flush tanks contribute to 25% of indoor water consumption.
• Additionally, the institution opts for hand sanitizers as an alternative to water in certain scenarios, further contributing to their efforts to minimize water usage.
• Minimize the use of drinkable water by implementing a drip irrigation system for all landscaping areas surrounding the palace.
• Implement suitable rainwater harvesting and air conditioning condensate collection systems, aimed at gathering and reusing water for WC flushing instead of relying on drinkable water sources.
• Promoting water-conscious usage on social media and websites with active engagement of students, faculty, and staff.
