Abstract
Water scarcity is a rapidly worsening problem, stemming from water-intensive lifestyles. Reduction in water usage can come in a variety of ways, including via increased appliance efficiency and increased attention to water usage. Both methods were used during this project. A water audit was conducted to assess ways for Loyola to reduce water consumption in recreational buildings on the Lake Shore Campus. Additionally, students were engaged via posters around campus encouraging the reduction of direct and indirect water usage in their daily lives.
