GOAL 6: CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION

• NED University has two water filtering Units with the capacity of 10,000 gallons per day and 5,000 gallons per day respectively are continuously providing safe and filtered water to the students, employees and the residents of University Staff Colony.
   
• Wastewater treatment plant at NED University is being fully utilized for the treatment of complete wastewater produced within the University and its colony with its effluent being used for watering the greens paces of the University.
   
• Additionally, the University recycles the NED mosque’s ablution water for the green areas around the mosque. The University plans to expand this facility in future to augment for the increase in water requirements owing to growing green spaces.
