1.0 Introduction
The purpose of this case study is to identify the water system
utilized in INTI International University, thereby understanding the basic
features and systems equipped in the building by means of experimental
learning. Through this study I was able to identify the water tanks and
other resources adopted in the University with regard to water system.
The survey for this study was done photographically and key points were
noted.
2.0 Methodology
The survey was carried out in academic and hostel block separately,
hence is presented accordingly. Photos of water tanks in the academic
block as well as hostel area were photographed where ever possible.
Where not accessible the facilities are highlighted by means of Google
Maps.
Water tanks
located top of the building: There are six (6) tanks each located
on top of every block, two tanks on top of learning resource centre
(figure 3), and another on top HVAC building (Figure 2). These tanks
provide water for toilet. The mechanism used here is combined
mechanism of gravity and pumping.
Water Tank: Water tank located on top of Cafeteria (figure 7). This
tanks supplies water for the toilets in this building by both gravity
and pumping system.

4.6 Summary of Findings
All buildings in this block also utilizes the gravity and pumping
combined.
As for the accommodation buildings the tanks differ in type as well
as capacity according to the building type categorised above.
Category 1 buildings were provided with 2 tanks.
Category 2 buildings were provided with 3 tanks.
Category 3 buildings were provided with 2 tanks.
Category 4 buildings were provided with 1 tank.
Category 5 buildings were provided with 2 tanks.
Pumping monitoring facilities were utilized in every building.
5.0 Conclusion
In concluding it has been observed that INTI uses the combined
mechanism for water supply for both the academic and hostel blocks.
Water storage facilities and water filter system were located inside the
academic block. There were separate water tanks for fire hose systems in
both hostel area and academic area. In case of extreme emergency, it is
applicable to use water from swimming pool to pump water for
firefighting.
