Does the institution use non-potable water (e.g., harvested rainwater or graywater) for irrigation and/or other applications?:
A brief description of the source of non-potable water and how it is used:
With each new construction, landscape piping for reclaimed water is installed as well as water-wise plants. Approximately 30% of campus irrigation uses reclaimed water.
Additionally, UC San Diego has retrofitted nearly 7,900 standard sprinklers with high efficiency rotating nozzles saving nearly 10.3M gals and $82,000/year. New controllers save an additional 55Mgals/yr.
