SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 6

Clean Water and Sanitation

Ahlia University Institutional Report

Verified institutional evidence | Education • Research • Operations • Community engagement

Institutional commitment

Ahlia University advances SDG 6 by applying water-efficiency measures in campus operations, integrating water and environmental responsibility into sustainability governance and education, and enabling student and community action through the Ahlia Sustainability Club.

Evidence basis: verified public institutional sources and dated activities within 2021–2025. Ongoing policies and services are identified separately from dated initiatives; no single year is treated as the core year.

How Ahlia University applies SDG 6

• Water-efficient operations: The Climate Action Policy records the use of water-efficient cleaning equipment that can reduce water consumption by at least 80%, mopping rather than hoses, automatic water-saving devices in restrooms, water-efficient landscaping and prompt maintenance of leaks.

• Governance and monitoring: The Climate Action Plan includes water conservation as a defined action area and assigns oversight to a Sustainability Committee. The plan calls for measurable targets, regular performance assessment, annual reporting and biennial review.

• Education and research: Ahlia maps Interior Design study to SDG 6 and integrates sustainability literacy across academic programming. Environmental and sustainable-design courses address materials, building systems and responsible resource use, while research activity supports practical responses to environmental challenges.

• Student and community engagement: The Ahlia Sustainability Club undertakes projects and awareness activity on water efficiency, waste reduction and environmental stewardship, working with academic units and external partners and extending outreach to local communities.

Institutional integration

The University’s contribution is reinforced through four connected functions: academic provision develops knowledge and professional capability; research generates and exchanges evidence; operations apply the goal within institutional practice; and community engagement transfers knowledge and benefit beyond campus. This structure enables the SDG to be addressed as an institutional responsibility rather than as a stand-alone event.

Five-year evidence record: 2021–2025

The following record presents selected verified evidence across the full reporting period. Each entry identifies the activity or framework and the contribution it makes to the goal.

How the contribution is strengthened

• Education: Curriculum mapping and sustainable-design courses develop water and sanitation literacy.

• Research: Sustainability research provides evidence for resource-efficient design, management and community practice.

• Operations: Cleaning, restroom, irrigation and maintenance measures reduce avoidable water use.

• Community: Student-led campaigns and workshops spread water-efficiency knowledge beyond facilities management.

Institutional outcome

Ahlia University’s 2021–2025 contribution to SDG 6 combines practical water conservation with governance, teaching, research and student leadership. The University applies clean-water responsibility through daily operations while building the knowledge and participation needed for wider change.
