Yes

A brief description of the plan of action to achieve water use reduction goals:

The state of North Carolina directed that all facilities reduce water consumption 20% (on a GSF basis) by 2015, from a 2002-03 baseline. UNCG has far exceeded this goal, achieving a 63.5% gross reduction and 72% reduction per GSF. We are developing a plan for further reductions within our Climate Action Plan.
