Conservation.

As the West, and especially California, faces its 4th year of drought, conservation plays a vital part of surviving the historically low rain fall and snow pack. UC President Janet Napolitano requested all campuses to reduce potable water consumption 20% by 2020.

All of these are unprecedented actions, and UCSB and Housing & Residential Services are incorporating even more water conservation measures.
