THE POSSIBILITIES FOR IMPLEMENTING RAINWATER MANAGEMENT MEASURES IN TUKE CAMPUS

All of the buildings in TUKE campus are connected on water main as only one source of water. There is no building with alternative source of water for non-potable uses so that potable water is used for drinking purposes as well as all others activities (flushing toilets, cleaning..). Drainage solutions of the TUKE campus are in traditional way too. The buildings situated in TUKE campus have a classical drainage system for rainwater runoff consist from traditional direct channelling of surface water through networks of pipes to sewer system except two buildings - PK6 and PK5 which have a drainage system for rainwater runoff designed through the infiltration facilities – infiltration shafts. This paper describe a big potential savings of potable water by the use of rainwater in TUKE campus as well as the big potential for “green” drainage solution – infiltration in TUKE campus.
