Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
While our score is low, our progress in water conservation has been significant. Since growth of the campus gross square footage is not reflected in this metric our gains are not accurately represented. Over the past twenty years, Texas A&M (TAMU) has implemented a number of significant water conservation initiatives and water system improvements that have significantly reduced water consumption. From 1991 through 2009, TAMU reduced total annual water consumption by 50%. This reduction was accomplished while serving a campus that grew 43% in gross square footage (GSF). This 50% decrease in overall water consumption with a 43% increase in GSF represents a 65% reduction in consumption per GSF.
