Sustainable Solutions: NLSIU Collaborates with BWSSB for Water Conservation

With temperatures soaring in the city, the National Law School of India University (NLSIU) continues to take measures to utilise its water resources sustainably and efficiently.

Given the vast expanse of our campus, adequate water is essential for the upkeep of lush green areas and campus facilities, spread across 23 acres. Of the 12,000 sqm of redeveloped area on campus, an estimated 6,000 sqm is covered by the garden area – this includes the library precinct, the amphitheatre, along with the area surrounding the four halls of residence.

To strengthen its ongoing water conservation activities, the University has collaborated with the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) to provide the University with a regular supply of treated water. This treated water is being used for gardening purposes so as to reduce the burden on other sources of water, primarily our borewells.

The University has taken all necessary infrastructural measures for the storage and distribution of the treated water. This supports our gardening team in tending to the campus flora without hampering the availability of water to the wider NLSIU Community for their essential daily needs. With this arrangement, the University has been able to regulate and manage the supply of water in houses (for drinking and bathing purposes), comprising approximately 1600 NLS community members.

This collaboration marks a significant step in our consistent efforts to continue keeping the NLSIU campus green and sustainable.
