We expect 250 students to be using this facility when it opens. That number is expected to climb steadily over the next 20 years.

Running out of water isn't the problem. We just need to be more careful about the way we manage it.

In many areas, particularly in Asia, we have plenty of water, but we don?t have plenty of good water that can be used.
