UNY has 2 campuses equipped with swimming pools. Both are of national standard and are periodically used for swimming championships. Water for the pools is obtained from several sources, with the main source being shallow groundwater with good quality. Periodically, the pool water is replaced, with a number of checks and goes through several treatment processes so that the remaining wastewater from the swimming pool is not harmful to the aquatic ecosystem. Periodically, water and wastewater tests are also carried out per semester, to maintain the quality of the water used in the pool and that which is discharged from the pool.

196 15. Life On Land 15.2.1 Events about sustainable use of land | Support or organise events aimed to promote conservation and sustainable utilisation of the land, including forests and wild land Show Article
As part of its comprehensive commitment to sustainable development, Universitas Negeri Yogyarta (UNY) has implemented a significant tree-planting program in Dukuh Iroyudan, a village supported by the university's community engagement efforts. The initiative successfully planted 100 teak seedlings, strategically aligning with the climate change, disaster mitigation, and reforestation priorities of the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). Other activity is the planting of 1000 Buteterfly Pea in Kulonprogo. 
 
This program is distinguished by its dual-focused approach:
 
1. Environmental Preservation and Disaster Mitigation: The selection of teak trees (Tectona grandis) is strategic. Teak has a deep root system that is highly effective at binding soil, thereby reducing the risk of erosion and landslides—a critical concern in the DIY region. This reforestation effort contributes to:Carbon Sequestration: Absorbing atmospheric CO₂ to mitigate climate change. 2. Biodiversity Enhancement: Creating a healthier ecosystem. 3.Microclimate Regulation: Improving local air and soil quality.
 
Local Economic Empowerment: The program actively involves and empowers local farming groups. Unlike short-term aid, the teak trees represent a long-term investment. As a valuable hardwood, teak can become a source of future income for the community, fostering economic resilience and sustainable land use practices. This aligns with UNY's mission of Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi, specifically the pillar of community service.
 
A Collaborative Model for the Future : The initiative in Dukuh Iroyudan serves as a model for synergistic action between academic institutions and local communities. It demonstrates how environmental challenges can be addressed in a way that also provides tangible socio-economic benefits. UNY views this project as a foundational step and is committed to monitoring the seedlings' growth and exploring further collaborative ventures to support sustainable village development in the region.
