Clean Water and Sanitation Sixth goal

While substantial progress has been made in increasing access to clean drinking water and sanitation, billions of people-mostly in rural areas-still lack these basic services. Worldwide, one in three people do not have access to safe drinking water, two out of five people do not have a basic hand-washing facility with soap and water, and more than 673 million people still practice open defecation.Source

Ensuring the provision of clean water and sanitation for all, in accordance with national plans until 2030, is crucial. The university must work on improving access to clean water and providing sanitation for both staff and students, which includes enhancing water management and promoting sustainability in water resource usage.
In the policy of the University of Baghdad, achieving this goal involves several aspects, such as:
Ensuring the provision of clean water for students and staff within the campus, where each college hallway is equipped with water coolers supplemented with plastic bottles sold at a very reasonable price. Additionally, the university possesses an efficient and hygienic sewage system for the university community. The university conducts awareness campaigns for students and staff on the importance of using water efficiently, and collaborates with local authorities (Ministry of Water Resources) and other institutions to achieve water resource sustainability.
