Abstract

The paper delves into the water management strategies of Oguz Han Engineering and Technology University of Turkmenistan (ETUT), emphasizing sustainable practices and regulatory compliance. ETUT employs various innovative techniques like rainwater collection through rain gardens, permeable pavement, and cisterns to mitigate runoff and enhance water quality. Rainwater is stored for irrigation, reducing reliance on municipal sources and contributing to groundwater recharge. A water-recycling program repurposes rainwater and fountain water, while innovative structures promote plant growth and water conservation by condensing atmospheric moisture. The university utilizes advanced wastewater treatment methods incorporating plants and microorganisms to purify water efficiently. Complying with national regulations ensures safe drinking water provision and resource protection. Regular monitoring aids in assessing policy effectiveness, fostering continuous improvement. ETUT's commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship is reflected in its comprehensive water conservation program, fostering a culture of innovation and responsibility within the university community.

Abstract

The paper discusses Oguz Han Engineering and Technology University of Turkmenistan's (ETUT) waste management initiatives, particularly its Zero Waste Program aimed at minimizing waste generation and promoting sustainability across campus. Strategies include educational campaigns, eco-friendly purchasing, and collaboration with vendors for waste reduction, reuse, and recycling. ETUT employs structured waste categorization, centralized repositories for reusable items, and a recycling plant with advanced sorting machinery. Innovative methods like paper recycling and composting are used, along with exploring plastic repurposing into fibers and fuel. Organic waste management includes composting, notably reducing landfill waste. Inorganic waste reduction involves paper recycling, plastic conversion, and electronic repair and donation. The program emphasizes waste reduction through recycling and reuse, including upcycling workshops. Hazardous waste from laboratories is managed with local authorities for safe disposal, while relevant associations for environmental safety oversee sewage disposal. These strategies highlight ETUT's commitment to sustainability, positioning it as a regional leader in responsible waste management.
