1.All buildings of Sakarya University have a separate sewerage system, for wastewater and for clean water (rainwater). Rainwater is thus collected from the roofs of the buildings and is then discharged into the water channels around the buildings.
2.The water arrives at water tanks placed underground and it is used for several purposes as irrigation or cleaning.
3.We have implemented our extended rainwater collection project. Several academic papers have been published by the experience gained through the implementation processes. This project reveals the potential of rainwater collected from the building roofs for irrigation of green areas located within the campus of Sakarya University. For this purpose, due to large area and location difference of the buildings, campus area is divided into 8 regions. In each zone, building roof area was calculated and amounts of rainwater are collected from each building. Also the area of greenland and amount of required rainwater was calculated in each region to direct the water for irrigation.
