Water consumption monitoring to date has been poor.  The University has now appointed a new water management supplier and is working with them to improve monitoring and establish an accurate baseline.

This plan is lead by:

• Helen Rutherford, Head of Sustainable Campus Operations

This plan is enabled by:

Water consumption is reduced by working with staff, students and visitors.  It is also reduced by working with the supplier to introduce technical solutions to reduce usage and waste.
