At the project inception in February 2009, Generation Power and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), which commissioned this study, set the following goals:
1. Conduct physical water audits of at least 120 LAUSD school campuses, including water fixture counts, analysis of makes and models of toilets, and analysis of irrigation controllers and field conditions.
2. Develop an ongoing technical and media force for water conservation and campus sustainability.
3. Develop the organizational, technical, and knowledge capacity to have a significant and ongoing impact on water usage within the LAUSD.
