Water Measurement

An-Najah National University (ANNU) maintains a comprehensive and data-driven approach to monitoring and managing water resources across all its campuses. Through precise measurement systems and smart infrastructure, the University tracks the total volume of water used, its various sources, and its reuse cycles—ensuring transparency, efficiency, and sustainability in every drop consumed.

The University’s water measurement framework covers all water types, including:

• Clean and Potable Water: used for drinking, laboratories, and sanitary purposes.

• Mains and Extracted Water: drawn from groundwater wells and connected municipal systems.

• Reused and Recycled Water: treated wastewater and greywater used for irrigation and cleaning.

• Rainwater: harvested through rooftop and surface collection systems for non-potable applications.

By systematically measuring and reporting on these categories, ANNU ensures efficient water use, reduced waste, and informed decision-making for sustainable campus operations. This initiative aligns with the Palestine Green Building Guidelines and directly supports the UN Sustainable Development Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation).

Through continuous monitoring, research collaboration, and innovative reuse systems, the University not only safeguards its own water footprint but also promotes conscious water management practices within the wider community — reinforcing its leadership in sustainable resource stewardship across Palestine.
