HMV Sets example in Water Conservation


 

Under the able guidance of Principal Prof. Dr. (Mrs.) Ajay Sareen, Hans Raj Mahila Maha Vidyalaya has taken steady strides for conservation, reuse and recycling of water. Significants steps have been taken over the years for water management. A number of innovative strategies for groundwater augmentation have been devised including establishment of ten rain harvesting units at different locates in the college premises for reelarging the water table. The rain water harvesting units are modeled after Seechewal model of rain water harvesting. As the nation is suffering from recurring water shortage issues, proper water management is the need of the hour. HMV being conscious of its environmental responsibility has adopted a multipronged strategy to conserve water. Grey water from wash rooms is stored and reused for gardening, cleaning, washing, laundry etc. Special tank placements, plumbing mechanisms have been done to recycle and reuse water which led to saving a tremendous amount of water. Waste water from Ac’s is also reused for mopping. Regular awareness activities for water awareness are carried out in the college like celebrations & World Water Day, Water Pledge etc. Innovative plantations are done to save waer. On the occasion of World Water Day, Prinicipal Prof. Dr. (Mrs.) Ajay Sareen reinforced the need of water conservation. Dr. Anjana Bhatia, Dean Innovations and Research gave an awareness lecture to supporting staff for reuse of water in the campus.
