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	335,749.15 Cubic meters	266,737.04 Cubic meters

Potable water use:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use	94,178.25 Cubic meters	59,855.73 Cubic meters

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

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Year	Jan. 1, 2018	Dec. 31, 2018
Baseline Year	July 1, 2004	June 30, 2005

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

Number of employees resident on-site	2	0
Number of other individuals resident on-site and/or staffed hospital beds	0	0
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment	4,218	3,913.80
Full-time equivalent of employees (staff + faculty)	642	635
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education	299	22.50
Weighted campus users	3,690.75	3,646.73

Potable water use per weighted campus user:
