EPA Facility Water Management Progress

EPA has 25 signed water management plans (WMPs) covering 27 of its reporting facilities. The Agency continues to make water management a priority by revisiting and updating older WMPs and incorporating water conservation strategies at many facilities. This matrix shows water use in FY 2008 compared to average water use from FY 2003 to FY 2007 for each facility with a WMP. It also lists each best management practice (BMP) implemented at each facility according to the facility's most recent WMP.
