In 2022, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) recorded a total water consumption of 2,646,476.00 m³, sourced from the Kuching Water Board (mains supply). This represents a 6% reduction compared to 2,805,435.00 m³ in 2021, demonstrating a consistent downward trend in water usage, with notable decreases during semester breaks in March and September.

Recognising the importance of sustainable and effective water management, UNIMAS established the UNIMAS Water Centre (UWC) to collaborate with government agencies and stakeholders in developing water infrastructure, conducting research on treated water management, and promoting sustainable practices. Through these initiatives, UWC supports the improvement of university water facilities while addressing challenges associated with efficient water resource management.
