Water

Every drop of water is a precious resource. As we experience decreased rainfall, using water efficiently and managing water resources sustainably is critical.

Some of our buildings are already piped for recycled water use, so we are well-positioned to connect our main campuses to the local recycled water network in the future. This will enable treated water to be used to flush toilets, and water gardens and sports fields, so that high quality water can be used for drinking.

We have longer-term plans to address water use in and around the Flinders Lake by enhancing this area into a multifunctional space for social interaction, outdoor teaching and research – a true living laboratory.

There are multiple water fountains placed around our main campus to ensure everyone stays hydrated and able to refill reusable drink bottles as needed.
