Generally, our campuses receive drinking water from the public supply network. The Central Campus in Kaposvár also has its own well equipped with a hydroglobe. At the Wildlife Centre (Vadgazdálkodási Központ), animals are partially supplied with water from on-site wells. Boreholes exist at Iregszemcse and at the horticultural section of the Training and Experimental Station (Tan- és Kísérleti Üzem), although they are currently not in operation. The quality of well water is regularly monitored. Water extraction is carried out under a permit issued by the Baranya County Directorate for Water and Water Protection  

 

Quality of the water 

The quality of the water supplied from the aquifers is regularly monitored by the Environmental and Water Quality Protection Department of DMRV Zrt. (DMRV Zrt. Környezet- és Vízminőségvédelmi Osztálya) in accordance with the relevant legal requirements and the water quality testing plan approved annually by the Public Health Authority. Water quality testing is carried out partly by DMRV ZRt's accredited laboratory and partly by external accredited laboratories. 

The quality of the water supplied complies with the requirements of Government Decree 201/2001 (X. 25.) on "Quality Requirements for Drinking Water and the Monitoring Procedure" and the water quality limits set out therein.
