Level of ”Physical Risk QUANTITY” for the institution’s main campus as indicated by the World Resources Institute’s Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas:

Low

Part 1

Total water use (potable and non-potable combined):

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Total water use	8,013,659.20 Gallons	8,851,084.60 Gallons

Potable water use:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use	8,013,659.20 Gallons	8,851,084.60 Gallons

Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or three-year periods):

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Year	Jan. 1, 2019	Aug. 31, 2019
Baseline Year	Jan. 1, 2018	Aug. 31, 2019

If end date of the baseline year/period is 2004 or earlier, provide:

A brief description of when and why the water use baseline was adopted:

Our water use baseline is 2018, when we started recording the water consumption of all our campuses. We have data since 2015, but they were collected at one campus only

Figures needed to determine "Weighted Campus Users":

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Number of students resident on-site	0	0
Number of employees resident on-site	0	0
Number of other individuals resident on-site and/or staffed hospital beds	0	0
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment	23,474	22,882
Full-time equivalent of employees (staff + faculty)	538	538
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education	100	100
Weighted campus users	17,934	17,490

Potable water use per weighted campus user:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use per weighted campus user	446.84 Gallons	506.07 Gallons

Percentage reduction in potable water use per weighted campus user from baseline:

11.70

Part 2

Gross floor area of building space:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Gross floor area	794,963.22 Gross square feet	794,963.22 Gross square feet

Potable water use per unit of floor area:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use per unit of floor area	10.08 Gallons per square foot	11.13 Gallons per square foot

Percentage reduction in potable water use per unit of floor area from baseline:

9.46

Part 3

Does the institution wish to pursue Part 3 of this credit? (reductions in total water use per acre/hectare of vegetated grounds):

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:

---

Optional Fields

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:

• Educational posters on the efficient use of water installed in all our restrooms • Training for cleaning and laboratory personnel • Adjustments to the infrastructure and sanitary units to save water • Educational campaigns through different channels: email, social networks and billboards

A brief description of the institution's water recovery and reuse initiatives:

We currently do not have projects for water reuse.

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):

We prioritize a different activity every year as budget permits, e.g., replacing sewer lines and sanitary units to save water
