Level of ”Physical Risk QUANTITY” for the institution’s main campus as indicated by the World Resources Institute’s Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas:
Total water use (potable and non-potable combined):

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Total water use	--- Date Revised: March 4, 2019 Messiah University requested that AASHE Staff correct a mistake in this reporting field for the reason specified below. Previous Value: 1303680 Gallons Explanation: total water use updated after data clarification was provided that a multiplier of 1000 was left out of the potable water spreadsheet.	37,794,699 Gallons Date Revised: March 4, 2019 Messiah University requested that AASHE Staff correct a mistake in this reporting field for the reason specified below. Previous Value: 1622778 Gallons Explanation: total data baseline year for fiscal year 2008

Potable water use:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use	38,363,000 Gallons Date Revised: March 4, 2019 Messiah University requested that AASHE Staff correct a mistake in this reporting field for the reason specified below. Previous Value: 38363 Gallons Explanation: Total potable gallons used in Fiscal Year 2017 (reporting time period). This is an updated number due to a calculation error that was not caught until later.	36,778,000 Gallons Date Revised: March 4, 2019 Messiah University requested that AASHE Staff correct a mistake in this reporting field for the reason specified below. Previous Value: 36778 Gallons Explanation: Edited baseline year data due to a calculation error that was not caught until well after submission.

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

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Year	July 1, 2016	June 30, 2017
Baseline Year	July 1, 2007	June 30, 2008
