As drought continues to tighten its grip on inland Australia Charles Sturt University (CSU) has received two Federal government grants for the provision and installation of water saving measures at its Wagga Wagga Campus. A water tank will be installed as part of the Veterinary Clinical Building which is currently under construction to collect water for washing horses and for irrigation. Senior CSU architect Chris Nesakumar developed the successful grant application, worth nearly $ 50 000. CSU Wagga Wagga Campus also received a Community Water Grant worth $15 000 to enlarge a dam to store stormwater collected from residences and to install a solar powered pump and associated water systems. The water will be used in a composting program to recycle waste on the Wagga Wagga Campus. It is envisaged that the dam will save around 500 000 litres of water per year.
