Water Reuse Policy

All environment & campus operations policies

1. Purpose

To maximise the reuse of treated water across the university and reduce consumption of fresh water.

2. Scope

This policy applies across Future University in Egypt — all faculties, the Dental Hospital, the training Pharmaceutical Factory, student housing and administrative units — and to students, faculty, staff and, where stated, contractors and suppliers.

3. Policy statement

• The university maximises reuse of treated water across the faculties, the Dental Hospital and the training Pharmaceutical Factory.
• Treated recycled water is used for landscape irrigation and vehicle washing.
• Water reuse is measured and reported.

4. Procedures

1. Wastewater is treated and routed to non-potable uses (irrigation, washing) rather than to discharge.
2. Reused volumes are measured and reported in the annual SDG 6 report.
3. New buildings and renovations specify water-efficient fixtures.

5. Roles and responsibilities

• Facilities Management — operates treatment and reuse and measures volumes.
• Sustainability Committee — reports performance.

6. Related policies

7. Legal and cultural alignment

Responds to Egypt's national water-scarcity priorities and the desert setting of New Cairo, maximising reuse of treated water in line with Egyptian environmental standards.

8. Monitoring and review

Reviewed at least every three years, or sooner if Egyptian law, regulations of the Supreme Council of Universities, or THE/accreditation requirements change. The policy owner is responsible for monitoring how it is applied.
