Efforts to reduce water consumption are expanding rapidly on university and college campuses. Three such programs are underway at Duke University in North Carolina, Princeton University in New Jersey, and Cuyamaca College in California.
A Duke initiative included the dispensing of 5,000 low-water-flow showerheads to faculty, staff, and off-campus students. It is estimated that each 1.5-gallons-per-minute showerhead will save an estimated 7,300 gallons of water annually, compared to a standard 2.5-gallons-per-minute fixture.
Residence halls at Princeton are having older toilets replaced with new dual flushing systems designed to save water. The new toilets allow users to push the flush handle one way to use less water for liquid waste and another way to release more water for solid waste.
Cuyamaca College is promoting water conservation in the southern California landscape through exhibits and programs that educate and inspire the public. One project is the Water Conservation Garden. The 5-acre garden has displays that show-case water conservation in themed gardens, such as a native plant garden and a vegetable garden, as well as how-to displays, such as mulch and irrigation exhibits. What is your campus doing to conserve water?
