“…In more recent volumes, articles on pedagogy, learning, instruction, community outreach and partnerships appear on the rise. Evangelinos et al (2009) argued that the promotion of sustainability in the context of higher education institutions can be achieved through teaching and research (Delakowitz and Hoffmann, 2000), improvement of environmental management (Bonnet et al, 2002) and transmitting knowledge to society (Owens and Halfacre-Hitchcock, 2006).…”

“…A second means for the promotion of ideas included in sustainability refers to the improvement of environmental management of HEIs [15]. This can be achieved with well-organized environmental management systems [13,16,17] with the most indicative examples being ISO 14001 and EMAS [18,46].…”

“…The library has low-water use (Table 1). A study conducted by Bonnet et al [12] included libraries as one of the components of a university campus and yielded the same result, "water use is one of the smallest of the campus." Academic libraries are increasingly being converted from spaces for housing printed books to spaces for students to study, collaborate, learn, and socialize, and act as centers of learning, culture, and the intellectual community.…”

In this study, indoor water use at the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) was assessed for three years (2016, 2017, and 2018). A geographic information system (GIS) was employed to determine where water use is high within the university, when and why water is used, who uses it, and how to minimize its usage. Diverse data were employed to elucidate the broad patterns of university water use. It was assumed that water use is directly proportional to the number of students and is lower during winter. The relationship between water use and number of students in academic buildings was modeled using least squares regression. The results indicate a low correlation between water use and the number of students, possibly due to the centralized usage of academic buildings and movement of students between them. The hypothesis of activity-driven consumption indicated that most water use occurred in residential buildings (47.5%), averaging 81.7 L per person per day (LPD). This value is lower than the metrics for dormitories in the United States (121 LPD) and Europe (143 LPD). A survey of 412 students revealed that half the respondents were not aware of water issues. Most of them (87%) preferred to drink bottled water and were not willing to use gray water for flushing (56%) or urinals (60%). The findings of this study will improve the understanding of university water use which will facilitate the development of effective water conservation policies and the establishment of such practices among the next generation.
