What is UCSD doing to address the new requirements?
UCSD is changing some practices to comply with the restrictions (see details), and being proactive about water conservation. Even before the drought alert, UCSD had been replacing irrigation nozzles with more efficient ones, and installing water-efficient fixtures in campus housing and new construction. We’ve also applied for grants to expand our reclaimed-water infrastructure and install low-flow toilets and urinals. Students have also galvanized, forming a group called Aquaholics to educate peers and the campus community about water issues.
