Abstract

Abstract. CETYS University is located in the state of Baja California, Mexico. Water scarcity is the main environmental problem in the region. The historic accumulated rain from 1980 to 2021, shows an average of 200 mm/year, with a long-term drought affecting the zone. Considering this fact, CETYS University works to minimize and make more efficient the use of water in all its facilities. Wastewater treatment plants operated in two campuses provide recycled water (8.5 liters per second) for green areas and general use in restrooms facilities. Recycled water is stored in cistern tanks with a total capacity of 82,000 m3, which significantly reduces the need to use external supply of clean city water; also, purification devices give drinking water for students, academics, administrative, and service personnel. Water-efficient appliance usage is a priority in CETYS policies. Considering hand washing taps, toilet flushes, and men's urinals, nearly 88% of the devices are water-efficient. CETYS University complies with the official regulations for preventing pollution from wastewater generated inside campuses. Wastewater goes to the internal treatment plant or the Municipality treatment facilities. Water management at CETYS is a priority to contribute to regional sustainability.Keyword: Water Scarcity, Water Management, Wastewater Treatment, Regional Sustainability

Abstract

The strategic location of CETYS University, in Baja California state in the northwest of Mexico, gives it exceptional conditions for the use of renewable energies. With an installed photovoltaic solar energy capacity of 1.37 MW, it is the academic institution with the greatest generation potential in Latin America. The importance that CETYS University gives to the subject has stimulated the institution since 2015 to offer a degree and master's degree in renewable energy to have greater and better collaboration with solar and wind energy technology companies located in the state. With a vision of the future, in 2023 the CETYS Institute for Sustainability Studies (ISS) was created to promote and coordinate, among other actions, those related to energy and climate change. With a planning horizon until 2036, the ISS, looking forward, has proposed the following actions: a) an internal audit to increase the energy efficiency of their buildings and classrooms; b) support for research projects to build on-campus operational small-scale wind energy systems; c) the deployment of the 300 x 500 program, which seeks to plant at least 300 native trees in the region with low water consumption each year, to offset the atmospheric emissions of 500 vehicles; d) a policy to achieve 80% carbon neutrality, and e) the incorporation of CETYS to the network of Mexican universities for climate action. Among many others, these actions position CETYS as a leading institution in sustainable development at the regional level.
