CHAPTER I
 INTRODUCTION
Water recycling innovation holds the promise of a greener, more sustainable future.
Taguig City University faces increasing environmental challenges, the conservation and
responsible use of water have become paramount. In this introduction, we will delve into
the transformative world of water recycling innovations, exploring their potential to
usher in a cleaner, more sustainable future for generations to come.

Water recycling innovation is at the forefront of addressing one of the most pressing
challenges of our time ensuring a sustainable and secure water supply. With the growing
global demand for freshwater and increasing concerns about water scarcity, innovative
technologies and practices are emerging to reclaim and purify water, making it safe for
various uses.
 BACKGROUND
The creation of Taguig City University (TCU) in 2004, formerly known as Pamantasan
ng Lungsod ng Taguig (PLT), was a significant milestone for the Municipality of Taguig.
However, the university's rapid growth has resulted in high water consumption and
inefficient water usage, underscoring the importance of implementing sustainable water
management solutions. The researcher suggests the introduction of a water recycling
system to tackle the university's water scarcity problem. Water recycling technology
plays a key role in advancing toward a more environmentally friendly future and
promoting sustainable water treatment methods. Reusing water for purposes such as
irrigation and flushing toilets can lessen the strain on freshwater resources.
 BACKGROUND

Therefore, we engineering student proposed a study that would benefit the future student
of the university to have a sustainable water development by proposing a water
recycling innovation for greener future in Taguig City University. This will benefit not
only students, faculties, and staff, but also the city government, and it will also help to
reduce water consumption and reduce waste water.
 OBJECTIVES

The main goal of this study is to innovate the water cycling for greener future in Taguig
City University to address and mitigate excessive water usage, to ensure sustainable
water management and preserve the well-being of both present and future generations.
