Sakarya University actively supports the conscious use of water on campus and in society. Good water management lessons are given within the scope of Sakarya University lesson plans. These courses are open to all our students, and course grades can be accessed through the education information system. In addition to lecture notes, the university organizes public seminars on good water management. Projects developed by academics who are experts in good water management are financed from external sources, and public information meetings and seminars are organized to disseminate the project results.
Some student communities within the university organize events that draw attention to water saving. For example; Damla Student Community prepared a documentary about water saving and presented it in various districts of Sakarya. Additionally, there are reminder visuals in campus water usage areas to draw attention to water-saving use. In addition to incentive and information practices, there are water-saving devices at many points of the campus.
Sakarya University also supports water saving outside of campus. Sakarya University attaches importance to the protection of natural resources and proudly hosts studies in this field in the region. In the events organized by Sakarya University and attended by regional managers, current practices and risks are discussed, while suggestions for the protection of water resources are also discussed.
In this regard, modeling of energy and water management systems is carried out at the Test Bed Center within Sakarya University, which was opened in 2019. By modeling academic studies in a real environment, it is aimed to expand the knowledge of the country and increase initiatives on domestic and national production. In addition, our university organizes many R&D studies and promotional programs together with SASKİ, which provides water supply to Sakarya on a local scale. Sakarya University academics have regional and national research projects on water security. Findings obtained from regional projects are shared with regional management units and shed light on taking improvement actions.
