Water withdrawal by source
There was a 56% increase in surface water withdrawal compared to FY23. Water extracted from the Hunter River at AGL Macquarie increased 140%, which was used to replenish supplies in Lake Plashett and Lake Liddell. Surface water withdrawal at AGL Loy Yang increased 18%.
Groundwater withdrawal decreased 26%. This is mostly driven by a 26% decrease at AGL Loy Yang, due to several groundwater bore pumps within the mine being offline for maintenance.
Municipal water withdrawal decreased 9%, mostly driven by a 12% decrease at AGL Loy Yang.
AGL Macquarie was the only facility that used rainwater in FY24.
