Level of ”Physical Risk QUANTITY” for the institution’s main campus as indicated by the World Resources Institute’s Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas:
Low to Medium
Total water use (potable and non-potable combined):
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Total water use | --- | 655.74 Cubic meters |
Potable water use:
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Potable water use | 655.74 Cubic meters | 655.74 Cubic meters |
Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or three-year periods):
| Start Date | End Date | |
| Performance Year | Feb. 20, 2017 | Feb. 20, 2018 |
| Baseline Year | Feb. 20, 2017 | Feb. 20, 2018 |
A brief description of when and why the water use baseline was adopted:
We do not have an established baseline. In the past twelve months Cascadia's buildings (CC1, CC2 and CC3 - where we have operational control) have used a total of 173,228 gallons of potable water
Figures needed to determine "Weighted Campus Users":
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Number of students resident on-site | ||
| Number of employees resident on-site | ||
| Number of other individuals resident on-site and/or staffed hospital beds | ||
| Total full-time equivalent student enrollment | ||
| Full-time equivalent of employees (staff + faculty) | ||
| Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education | ||
| Weighted campus users |
Potable water use per weighted campus user:
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Potable water use per weighted campus user | 0.28 Cubic meters | 0.28 Cubic meters |
Percentage reduction in potable water use per weighted campus user from baseline:
Gross floor area of building space:
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Gross floor area | 15,403.32 Gross square meters | 15,403.32 Gross square meters |
Potable water use per unit of floor area:
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Potable water use per unit of floor area | 0.04 Cubic meters per square meter | 0.04 Cubic meters per square meter |
Percentage reduction in potable water use per unit of floor area from baseline:
Does the institution wish to pursue Part 3 of this credit? (reductions in total water use per acre/hectare of vegetated grounds):
No
Area of vegetated grounds:
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Vegetated grounds | --- | --- |
Total water use (potable + non-potable) per unit of vegetated grounds:
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Total water use per unit of vegetated grounds | --- | --- |
Percentage reduction in total water use per unit of vegetated grounds from baseline:

A brief description of the institution's water-related behavior change initiatives, e.g. initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices such as signage and competitions:
We have 'push to flush' water saving campaigns in our bathrooms on campus that include information about how much water has been saved using this practice.
A brief description of the institution's water recovery and reuse initiatives:
We capture rain water in our LEED Platinum building, CC3, and use it to flush the toilets and for irrigation.
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace plumbing fixtures, fittings, appliances, equipment, and systems with water-efficient alternatives (e.g. building retrofits):
Our campus is twenty years old and our buildings were built using water efficient fixtures.
