Water
Between construction, upkeep, and irrigation of athletic venues, as well as the use of rest rooms within the venues, athletic events require a lot of water. Through campus policies and renovations of venues, UNC Athletics has successfully decreased the demand on the water supply throughout the department.
The Higher Education Bond, which passed in 2000, provided $10 million for storm water infrastructure at UNC and for the Storm Water Management Plan.
