10. Water Footprint Concept
•Water Footprint (WF) is an innovative idea like
carbon footprint and ecological footprint
•It was presented by Dr. Hoekstra in 2002. Then
Water footprint network was established.
•Water footprint calculators especially GRACE’s
Water Footprint methodology was introduced in
2007-2008.
•A European's Water Footprint is determined as
3550 liters per capita per day.
•From Campus population
3181.4060347liters/person /day

11. Questionnaire Results
•About 7149303.46 liters/day water used by
campus population during working hours.
•It was observed that 1241.1985069
liters/person/day of water used during
working hours.
•About 11175595.3 liters/day water consumed
by the campus people after working hours.
•About 31814.060347liters/person /daywater
was consumed by campus population.
