Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
Reducing ‘Water consumption per person’ is vital for achieving SDG 6, focusing on sustainable water and sanitation for all. It involves promoting water-saving technologies and practices, ensuring equitable access, and fostering responsible usage to preserve this precious resource for future generations and avert water scarcity crises.
Universitas Indonesia is one of the largest universities in Indonesia, stretching up to 320 hectare of campus area. To meet the need for clean water on campus, UI has collaborated with Water Utility Company (PDAM) of Depok which supplies clean water. UI has started implementing a water-saving policy that applies to the entire society of academicians and students on campus. UI has also started implementing wastewater management to reuse water and water conservation programs such as at Faculty of Computer Science (Fasilkom). UI also consistently measures water volume

Conservation Program in Faculty of Computer Science (FASILKOM):
Attentive ‘Water usage and care’ aligns with SDG 6’s aim for clean water and sanitation, emphasizing the need for conservation and careful management of water resources. It encourages efficient use, protects water ecosystems, and supports the infrastructure that maintains the cycle of clean and safe water for all.
One example of utilizing wastewater is to recycle it into clean water using a domestic Sewage Treatment Plant (STP). Faculty of Medicine (FK) implements programs for conserving water, recycling water, saving water, as well as adding hand washing and hygiene facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021. Faculty of Computer Science (Fasilkom) also implements similar programs. Meanwhile, Faculty of Public Health (FKM) and Faculty of Psychology always use wastewater from condensed water from AC. Water recycling programs have also been implemented across all faculties at Universitas Indonesia

In preventing pollution in water sources on campus, Universitas Indonesia has issued various policies to be carried out by all work units. One of the activities carried out is wastewater management. It is important to prevent contamination of water sources from wastewater/dirty water generated from the daily activities of the university.

At Universitas Indonesia, drinking water fountains have been installed in strategic locations in each faculty, such as Faculty of Public Health (FKM), Faculty of Psychology (FPsi UI), Faculty of Economy and Business (FEB), Faculty of Law (FH), Faculty of Dentistry (FKG), Faculty of Computer Science (Fasilkom). This facility can be enjoyed free of charge by all groups, including students, staff, and visitors. The hope is that in addition to maximizing water for consumption, this program can also support the campus environment without plastic bottles.

Universitas Indonesia has implemented water-saving equipment as a standard of buildings on the UI Campus. It is stipulated in UI Rector’s Decree No. 2893/SK/R/UI/2018 concerning UI Green Campus Policy, which refers to the 17 components of SDGs, one of which is water-conscious building standards. This regulation also applies to every faculty at UI.

It is stipulated in UI Rector’s Decree No. 2893/SK/R/UI/2018 concerning UI Green Campus Policy, which refers to the 17 components of SDGs, one of which is water-conscious building standards. UI continues to install and replace water equipment such as faucets and toilets to become water efficient. The use of water-saving equipment is applied as a standard for the construction and renovation of new buildings. Examples of water-saving equipment installed in the UI are as follows: 1) water faucets with sensor systems in toilets in administrative and faculty buildings; 2) dual-flush toilet in administration building. This appliance has two water use systems: a) a small button with 3 liters of water consumption b) a large button with up to 4.5 liters of water consumption; and 3) automatic dishwasher for faculty canteens. Dishwashing can be done centrally, contributing to the efficient use of water. This regulation also applies to every faculty at UI.

The water-conscious planting program applies to every faculty at UI. For example, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) of Universitas Indonesia carried out a community service activity in Gandasoli Village, Sukabumi, West Java, for two days, namely from Saturday to Sunday on September 23-24, 2021, promoting the theme “Development of Musabotanica Arboretum as Germplasm Conservation Media”. UI also applies a landscape planting program to minimize water usage. The planting program is available in every faculty at UI. Meanwhile, Faculty of Psychology has two drinking water fountains adjacent to the center of the faculty.

Water Reuse” in the context of SDG 6 promotes sustainable water management by encouraging the recycling of wastewater. It supports technological and natural solutions to purify and reintroduce treated water back into the environment, reducing scarcity, and contributing to hygiene, health, and overall ecosystem resilience.
Based on UI Rector’s Decree No. 1309/SK/R/UI/2020 concerning Conservation Policy at the Campus of Universitas Indonesia, UI applies the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) method to treat wastewater to be clean and ready to use. Faculty of Medicine (FK) has conserved water, recycled water, implemented water-saving policy, as well as added hand washing and hygiene facilities during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021. The water reuse policy intends to provide other sources of water to be utilized, such as ground water tanks in several buildings at Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA). Faculty of Public Health (FKM) and Faculty of Psychology reuse condensed water from AC.

Faculty of Public Health (FKM) measures the total volume of water reused that is taken from water reservoirs located at six (6) points at the faculty. Each water reservoir can hold up to 1,000 liters of water within 2-3 days.
Water in the Community” under SDG 6 emphasizes the importance of clean and accessible water for all community members. It drives initiatives for equitable water distribution, enhances local water management, and ensures communities actively participate in safeguarding this vital resource for health, prosperity, and sustainability.
Water management education is provided at Faculty of Public Health (FKM) in the form of a special course, namely the Water and Soil Pollution. Caring for the environment, the Student Executive Board (BEM) of Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) of UI presents a Plastic Waste Bank (BASALTIK).
