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

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Between 2005 and 2009, SDSU's building and grounds gsf increased by approximately 20% due to an incorporation of previously excluded campus property, while gross water consumption remained relatively flat. Without significant conservation measures during this period water consumption would have increased proportionally. Water consumption charts available here: http://bfa.sdsu.edu/plant/waterchart.htm
