Part 1. Reduction in potable water use per person

Total water withdrawal (potable and non-potable combined):

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Total water withdrawal	58,635.97 Cubic meters	69,239.97 Cubic meters

Potable water use:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use	33,029.98 Cubic meters	48,384.98 Cubic meters

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

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Period	Jan. 1, 2021	Dec. 31, 2021
Baseline Period	Jan. 1, 2020	Dec. 31, 2020

If end date of the baseline year/period is 2004 or earlier, provide:

A brief description of when and why the water use baseline was adopted:

The water use baseline was adopted in the year 2020 because our handling provider had precise data from potable water meters in all of our buildings and annexes. This baseline serves as a starting point for tracking and measuring future water usage, and can be used to set targets and evaluate progress towards water conservation goals. By using the year 2020 as the baseline, our handling provider can compare current water usage to a known and consistent standard, which allows for better decision-making and resource management.

A brief description of the institution's water recovery and reuse initiatives:

• Recovered gray water is sent to a wastewater treatment plant. This water is first mixed with activated carbon before being disinfected under UV rays and then with chlorine.
• Rainwater and gray water are conveyed to a basin which consists of two tanks, respectively, of 600 m3 and 225 m3.
• A pressure unit at the pool outlet of 15m3/h at 6.5 bars is responsible for ensuring the necessary flow rate and sufficient pressure for the various irrigation systems.
• A filtration system after the pressure group prevents possible obstructions of the irrigation elements.
• Then, 2 dosing pumps allowing, by means of a tapping on the irrigation water pipe, the fertilization and the application of chlorine for disinfection depending on the needs in a circuit of recirculation to the tank. These two pumps are currently not functional and do not fulfill the fertilization mission accordingly.
• In case of lack of water at the level of the basin, irrigation is supplied thanks to the three existing wells, which pump water directly towards the irrigation network
