Why use this indicator? Clean freshwater is becoming increasingly scarce and this can impact on processes
that rely on large volumes of water. The monitoring of water usage and improvements
in water use efficiency can be linked to consumption costs.
This indicator measures the total volume of water withdrawn by source, which
will contribute to an understanding of the potential impacts and risks
associated with water use.
What is the current situation?
Council is not yet reporting on this Indicator.
What is the desired trend?
An improvement in the monitoring of water usage and in efficiency of water usage.
What does this mean for the Sustainability of Penrith Council?
Clean freshwater is a valuable resource that is under increasing pressure from
a growing population. Reducing Councils reliance and use of freshwater
will contribute to improvements in the health of our waterways.
