Preventing water pollution

Protecting water quality is a key part of our commitment. All wastewater is treated before reuse or released, and strict protocols ensure that oils, chemicals, or other harmful substances never enter our drains. We maintain closed-loop water systems, continuously monitor water quality, and conduct regular environmental audits to identify potential risks before they become problems. 

All boreholes/borewells are protected carefully to prevent polluted water from entering the water system. 

As part of JGU’s commitment to the overall well being of members of the JGU community that includes all students, faculty and staff members, water samples taken from the Student Housing Blocks and the Food Court are regularly sent for testing to an accredited ISO 45001-2018 laboratory certified by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. 

The results meet the quality standards and are within the parameters set by the Indian Standards for Drinking Water as per the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Specifications for Potable Water (IS – 10500-2012). Therefore, drinking water at the JGU campus is safe and is good for drinking as it meets the quality standards. 

Education plays a big role too. Through workshops, campaigns, and signage, our community learns about proper disposal of household and laboratory waste, the environmental consequences of pollution, and ways to minimize their water footprint. These measures collectively ensure that our campus operations safeguard both local groundwater and nearby ecosystems.
