A brief description of the institution’s rainwater management policy, plan, and/or guidelines that supports the responses above:

Around 75% of campus building roofs discharge rainwater to the surrounding ground rather than to the sewer or storm-discharge lines. Large vegetated areas are preserved to enable natural percolation of this water. Knox also has five retention ponds for on-site stormwater management.
