Department of Water Resources
King Abdulaziz University has established clear standards and guidelines for water discharge and treatment within the campus to preserve water quality, protect ecosystems, and safeguard public health. This is achieved through the implementation of an integrated wastewater treatment system and the adoption of the latest treatment technologies in accordance with international standards.
The Water Research Center and the General Administration of Facilities are the entities responsible for managing water treatment and discharge operations. They conduct regular water quality tests in line with environmental standards to ensure that all discharges remain within environmentally permissible limits.
Establishment of Internal Standards and Guidelines for Water Quality and Discharge
The University has developed internal standards aligned with the regulations of the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture and the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) to regulate the discharge of treated water and ensure that it does not harm aquatic or groundwater ecosystems.
