Wastewater and Recycling

Wastewater management is central to reducing the university’s environmental impact and conserving freshwater resources.

Treatment Infrastructure

UoWA operates advanced on-campus wastewater treatment systems that purify sewage water for safe, non-potable uses.

Reuse and Recycling

Treated wastewater now supplies over 70% of irrigation demand, accounting for 30–35% of total campus water consumption. Overall, recycled and treated water contributes approximately 55–60% of total campus water usage, substantially lowering reliance on municipal freshwater sources.

Research and Collaboration

The university collaborates with local and international partners to enhance treatment technologies, contributing to scalable and sustainable water reuse solutions.

Future Development

Plans aim to increase recycled wastewater coverage for irrigation to 70% within three years, alongside infrastructure expansions for rainwater harvesting and monitoring systems.

Alignment with Global Goals

  • SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) – through expanded treatment and reuse.
  • SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) – through applied research in recycling technologies.
  • SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) – by reducing environmental discharge.
