I have checked the water supply facilities accessible on campus in October,2004 to ease water shortage problem. Most of the hardware still works all right but some equipment is problematic. 124 out of 1036 old-fashioned water taps in classroom buildings and students dormitories were found to be either leaking or broken; water keeps running our day and night in 14 student bathrooms for many weeks, at least wasting 18.5 tons of water every day. Few water meters are installed in student dormitories, resulting in unfair water bill. I think that effective measures be taken to save water, including replacing all old water taps with advanced ceramic ones, installing water meter for individual users, and heightening the awareness of water shortages |
