Water consumption trends for Charles Sturt campuses

Charles Sturt’s water consumption for the 2023 calendar year was 414,148 kilolitres.

This is an increase of 88,100 kilolitres (31 per cent) on the previous year, and coincides with much drier weather conditions due to significantly reduced rainfall compared to 2022.

Significant leaks were identified and rectified on two of our biggest campuses, which contributed to exceeding our target benchmark performance. The increase from these two campuses accounted for 95 per cent of the total annual increase in 2023.
