Water Conservation at UCSF 20% by 2020

20% BY 2020 UCOP Mandate Baseline Consumption Data and Goals Where We’re At Where Does the Water Go? What We’re Doing How YOU Can Help

UC President Janet Napolitano on January 16 announced a goal of reducing per capita water use by 20 percent throughout the UC system by the year

Every UC campus already has established its water usage baseline against a three-year average, and the 20 percent reduction goal will be pegged to each campus’s baseline. Actual Baseline 15,162 Gallons per year baseline consumption per weighted campus user during FY2007 – 10 Baseline Goal 12,130 Gallons per year baseline consumption goal per weighted campus user by FY2019 – 20 3,302 Gallons = Annual Per Capita Reduction 13 Gallons = Daily Per Capita Reduction

Where We’re At Actual Consumption 14,495 Gallons baseline per capita reduction through FY2012 – 13 Actual Reduction 667 Gallons baseline per capita reduction through FY2012 – % Reduction baseline per capita reduction through FY2012 – 13 2,635 Gallons TO GO per capita reduction by FY

Where Does Our Water Go? Laboratories represent at least 21% of total water consumption or over 40,000,000 gallons of water each year

What You Can Do Adhere to best practices in sustainable water use Report leaks to Rightsizing water-using equipment for tasks and use as high loadings as possible Use purified water appropriately and efficiently Retrofit or replace autoclaves and sterilizers Use closed loop or air rather than continuous flow or once through cooling equipment and devices Complete laboratory survey and assessment Audit: ucsf.edu Additional ideas or suggestions:
