Working Together To Reduce Our Water Consumption

At Swansea University, we currently consume just over 300,000 cubic meters (300 million litres) of water each year; 239,000m3 at Singleton Park Campus, 40,000m3 at the Hendrefoelan Student Village and 24,000 m3 at the Bay Campus.

Reducing Water Consumption

We aim to reduce our water consumption to 1 cubic meter per M2 gross internal area from the current figure of 1.12M3/M2. We're working closely with partners in Dwr Cymru/Welsh Water to develop a programme of leakage detection works to help us achieve our target. At our Bay Campus, we employ rainwater harvesting systems to help us reduce our mains water consumption; and we've recently developed a water management dashboard so we can track our performance.
