Water Conservation Accomplishments
In This Section
EPA has made great strides in decreasing its water consumption, and the Agency continues to pursue opportunities to reduce its water use even further. EPA set an internal goal of reducing its total water use 15 percent by FY 2010 (from a FY 2000 baseline). Learn more about how EPA is achieving this and other water conservation goals in the following charts, reports, and tables.
Agencywide Water Intensity in Gallons Per GSF
This chart compares EPA's Agencywide water intensity in gallons per square feet from FY 2000 to FY 2006 versus the 2010 internal water goal.
Individual EPA Laboratories' Comparison of Water Use Per GSF in FY 2006 to Previous Five-Year Average
This chart compares individual EPA laboratories' average water use per GSF in FY 2006 to their respective average annual water use from FY 2001 to FY 2005.
Individual EPA Laboratories' Share of Total Water Use for FY 2006
This pie chart shows the percentage of total EPA water use for FY 2006 use by each reporting laboratory.
EPA Facility Water Management Progress Matrix
EPA tracks water use at its facilities that have undergone water management assessments and created water management plans.
EPA's Water Management Plans
As of March 2007, EPA has developed water management plans for 18 facilities, helping these facilities set long- and short-term water conservation goals.
