The wastewater from the bathrooms is collected by pipes to the sedimentation and treatment basins located at the outskirts of the campus, and after the sedimentation stage, the wastewater is discharged into the public piping network of the Ministry of Works. As for the waste in sedimentation basins, it is transported periodically throughout the year for treatment outside the compound. 

The university for its construction project incorporated architectural elements on the campus in which all the requirements related to the surrounding environment were developed and studied, including the lack of a source for use and drinking water, and the absence of an infrastructure that would cover the needs of the buildings included in the project. Consequently, the infrastructure was equipped with the development of four networks as follows: 

• An internal network of drinking water that is distributed to all buildings 

• A network to collect rainwater from the roofs of buildings 
• A network for collecting rainwater from roads and land areas 
• A sewage network and a treatment station (septic tank) 

 

Wastewater 

The wastewater from the bathrooms is collected by pipes to the sedimentation and treatment basins located at the outskirts of the campus, and after the sedimentation stage, the wastewater is discharged into the public piping network of the Ministry of Works.

Treatment of wastewater and rain water 

Rainwater from the roofs and balconies 

 

Ground tanks (from R1 to R4 .in blue color) with total capacity of approximately 2900m3 were built distributed over the entire project. Ceilings were designed diagonally to collect water and deliver it to the tanks separately, see next figure, the consumption rate of each student: 

• Capacity building 900 students 
• Volume of upper tank 2000×7=14000litres 
• The consumption rate for each student =2000×7/900= 15.5litres/day
