Does the institution use non-potable water (e.g., harvested rainwater or graywater) for irrigation and/or other applications?:
A brief description of the source of non-potable water and how it is used:
Less than 30% of the campus landscape is irrigated, and Elon's automatic irrigation system is completely supplied with reclaimed stormwater. The majority of the stormwater from Elon's campus is directed into three man-made ponds on campus, and these ponds are then connected to the irrigation system. This system is beneficial to the local watershed in that it prevents sediment and other materials from entering nearby natural waterways.
