Integrating Water Management Knowledge Through the Development of Automatic Dissolved Oxygen Monitoring Devices

East Water Group continues to promote community innovation through collaboration with educational institutions in Thailand’s Eastern region. The Group recently held a meeting to discuss the implementation of its Community Innovation Project with four technical colleges: Chachoengsao Technical College, Pattaya Technical College, Bankhai Technical College, and Rayong Technical College, together with representatives from Universal Utilities Public Company Limited (UU). The meeting aimed to establish an integrated approach linking the project with the Model School Project on Canteen Wastewater Treatment Systems, with the goal of extending the benefits of model schools to local communities and promoting long-term sustainability.

The meeting resulted in an integrated approach to water management education, connecting learning from primary education through vocational education. Under this initiative, UU will provide experts to conduct a hands-on training course on “Building an Automatic Dissolved Oxygen Monitoring Device” for all four technical colleges. The training aims to transfer practical knowledge and enhance students’ technological and innovation skills, enabling them to apply what they learn in real-world settings.

In 2027, the four participating technical colleges will apply the knowledge and skills gained from the training to build and install automatic dissolved oxygen monitoring devices at four model schools with canteen wastewater treatment systems. These schools received the Excellent Plus Award under the project’s enhancement initiatives, namely the Zero Waste Project and the Water Management Innovation Project. The four schools are Ban Mab Lam Bid School, Ban Khao Sattaphrom School, and Ban Khlong Yai School in Chonburi Province, and Wat Nong Kan Krao School in Rayong Province.

In addition, in 2026, East Water Group provided educational scholarships of THB 15,000 to each of the four technical colleges to support institutional development and encourage their participation in creating innovations for society.

This collaboration reflects East Water Group’s commitment to promoting water management education, developing innovations that address community needs, and strengthening partnerships between the private sector and educational institutions. Through these efforts, the Group aims to support more effective water resource management and contribute to sustainable communities throughout Thailand’s Eastern region.
