Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

While Virginia Tech strives to reduce its water consumption, a 14.6% growth in campus size relative to the 2005 baseline year combined with the lack of a comprehensive campus-wide water reduction strategy have resulted in negative progress for this credit relative to 2005.
