Optional Fields

A brief description of the institution's water-related behavior change initiatives:

---

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

The UW-Green Bay campus includes a public 9-hole golf course, Shorewood Golf Course. The course includes a pond fed by rainwater and stormwater runoff. Water from the pond is used to irrigate the golf course when natural rainfall is not sufficient. The golf course use was ended in 2020 and decisions are currently in the process of being made to determine the next use for the land.

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace plumbing fixtures, fittings, appliances, equipment, and systems with water-efficient alternatives:

In the residential areas of campus, all showers, toilets and faucets have been retrofitted with low-flow fixtures.

In the academic buildings, as buildings are renovated and as financial considerations and infrastructure allow, low flow or automated measured flow faucets are included in bathroom remodels, low-flow toilets are installed. Improving water efficiency is always considered.
