Water consumption trends for Charles Sturt campuses

Charles Sturt’s potable water consumption for 2024 was 453,942 kilolitres. This equates to an increase of nine per cent over the previous year which can be largely accounted for by a significant leak identified and resolved in late 2024 from our largest campus. Annual consumption, discounting for the leakage, approximately equates to 2023, and comes on the back of a significantly lower rainfall year in 2024, compared to 2023 which increased demand for irrigation water.

Improvements to water management were focused around the Wagga Wagga campus in 2024 and included additional metering installed and further roll-out of water saving devices in residential facilities.
