Promoting conscious water usage on campus.
UniSC actively promotes conscious water usage on campus through several initiatives:
Water Refill Stations: The university has installed numerous water refill stations across all campuses, encouraging students, staff, and visitors to use refillable bottles instead of single-use plastic bottles.
Advanced Water Treatment Systems: UniSC’s Sunshine Coast campus features a system that collects and treats stormwater, rainwater, and wastewater for reuse in irrigation, cooling towers, and pools, significantly reducing reliance on mains water.
Sustainability Tours: UniSC conducts sustainability tours for local businesses, schools, and the wider community, showcasing their integrated water management processes and promoting water conservation practices.
Educational Programs: The university offers courses and workshops focused on sustainable water practices, raising awareness and providing practical solutions for water conservation.
Summary
These efforts highlight UniSC’s commitment to promoting sustainable water usage and engaging the campus community in conservation practices.
