Access to clean water and sanitation is essential for health and well-being. At Bulacan Agricultural State College, the university prioritize providing safe and regular water supply, along with improved sanitation facilities for our campus community. BASC track water consumption and implement rainwater collection measures to ensure environmental sustainability.
BASC commitment to clean water and sanitation extends to its surrounding communities through outreach programs and partnerships with local government agencies. BASC promoteS conscious water usage and implement water management policies to minimize wastage and prevent water system pollution. Additionally, we provide free drinking water on campus and advocate for sustainable water practices in our daily operations.
