In response to looming water shortages and scheduled supply cuts, schools across Pune are implementing robust water conservation measures. Institutions are adopting strategies ranging from installing water-saving fixtures to closely monitoring consumption and exploring wastewater reuse. The Orbis School has replaced conventional taps with pressmatic faucets and conducts regular leak inspections. Vidya Valley School has launched a 'Pani Bachao' initiative, focusing on reducing consumption and reusing RO reject water for non-potable purposes.
These schools are actively involving students in conservation, encouraging them to report leaks and use water judiciously. Vidya Valley School plans to install meters to track water usage comprehensively, aiming for a future "tanker-mukt campus." St. Mary's School has also intensified awareness sessions. These collective efforts by schools aim to alleviate pressure on Pune's strained water resources through sustained, mindful conservation practices.
