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	443,880,862 Gallons	290,579,000 Gallons

Potable water use:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use	310,946,498 Gallons	290,579,000 Gallons

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

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Year	Jan. 1, 2017	Dec. 31, 2017
Baseline Year	Jan. 1, 2010	Dec. 31, 2010

A brief description of when and why the water use baseline was adopted:
Figures needed to determine "Weighted Campus Users":

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Number of students resident on-site	8,035	6,592
Number of employees resident on-site	184.50	203
Number of other individuals resident on-site and/or staffed hospital beds	0	0
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment	34,090	29,702
Full-time equivalent of employees (staff + faculty)	4,906	4,167.25
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education	1,292	2,980
Weighted campus users	30,332.88	24,865.69

Potable water use per weighted campus user:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
