ARMY WATER VISION 2017This Portfolio embraces the Army Vision for a “Net Zero Installation.” The vision is toappropriately manage the natural resources with a net zero strategy. To achieve a NetZero Water Installation, efforts begin with conservation followed by efficiency in use andimproved integrity of distributionNet Zero Water Installation Definition:systems. The vision empowersinstallations to seek effective andAn installation that limits the consumption ofinnovative solutions to ensure missionfreshwater resources and returns water backsuccess while enhancing the quality ofto the same watershed so not to deplete thelife for our Soldiers, Civilians and theirgroundwater and surface water resources ofthat region in quantity or quality over theFamilies. These solutions requirecourse of a year.Leadership to change Army culture, anEnterprise-wide Partnership toleverage investment opportunities combined with Ownership and Accountability forour water management decisions to serve as a model for the nation.There is a correlation between freshwater consumption andinstallation energy usage. As an installation’s freshwaterdemands increase, a greater quantity must be produced,treated, stored, and distributed to users resulting in agreater volume of wastewater to be collected, pumped,treated and disposed. All of these processes requireenergy. A net zero water installation will not reduce totalenergy consumption, unless the quantity of freshwaterconsumed is also significantly reduced. A downside ofgreatly reducing potable water consumption is theunintended impacts on water quality in water distribution pipe networks.Water Management Security The Army ismoving toward a water management Visionby providing guidance, prioritizing actions,identifying resource opportunities, andexecuting exemplary water conservation andmanagement projects. The Army mustaccess reliable, affordable, stable watersupplies to provide safe, potable,environmentally compliant and cost-effectivewater services to Soldiers, Families andCivilians on installations worldwide. Thedisruption of critical water supplies willcompromise the Army’s ability to accomplish1Water Management Security SECURITY - Provide adequatewater supplies for critical missions AVAILABILITY - Secure access toquality water sources AFFORDABILITY - Sufficientsupplies at an affordable price SUSTAINABILITY - Promotesupport for the Army’s mission, itscommunity, and the environment
its missions. Such a risk exposes an Army’s vulnerability that must be addressed by amore secure water management posture and outlook.Net Zero Hierarchy Our installations must be enduring and sustainable. Reliable andsecure access to water resources is essential to mission accomplishment and safety ofour installations and must be a consideration in all future plans. The hydrologic or watercycle replenishes separate water resourcesystems at different rates, some in terms ofmonths, others years or even decades.Installations must be stewards of theirenvironment and natural water resources,preserving the future for tomorrow’s Army.Installations will first work to reduceconsumption by eliminating wasteful waterusage that puts an unceasing demand on ourlimited resources. We will maximize the reuseor repurposing of water from rainwater andstormwater runoff, as well as HVAC systemdrains. Gray water systems recycle wastewaters such as using sinks and showers toflush toilets or to irrigate landscaping. Energycan be recovered from water that is of higheror lower water temperature and used to pre-temper incoming water streams beforewater is disposed of or re-injected into the aquifer; it should have had several productiveuses.With our efficiency at its best, we will reduce as much as possible our dependency onthe limited and stressed potable water sources. To meet these challenges, we willcontinue to execute programs that recognize water as a strategic resource. We haveboth the opportunity and obligation to address installation water resources. Enhancingwater conservation and management is a basic responsibility of every Army Soldier andCivilian. Success depends on individual and organizational accountability for improvedperformance through implementation of solutions to meet today’s water securitychallenges. Changing our behavior is central to success.2
FUNDAMENTALSAre we doing the right things?This first fundamental question has everything to do with being a leader with strongcharacter. Organizations and well-intentioned individuals throughout the Army areworking to meet water conservation and water management mandates of executiveorders, public law and Secretary of the Army’s intent. However, we must also focus onthe Army’s unique water security requirements. Are we implementing the right watersecurity actions and are we getting the appropriate value out of our installation WaterPrograms? Due to current energy and water management legislation, the waterconservation requirements for the Army have increased with net zero being our ultimategoal. We must get out in front of the water conservation requirements process andfocus on projects that provide the most value and return on investment for the Army.Are we doing things right?We must have an integrated approach that addresses water conservation andmanagement without degrading water quality. At the same time, we must place greateremphasis on efficiently reducing our inventory of excess facilities and expandingpotable and non-potable water sources to improve our water security posture. Are wedeveloping an integrated holistic approach as we move toward improving our watermanagement posture? We must make use of all available resources within the Armyand capitalize on third-party funding opportunities, when proven to be cost-effective tothe Army. To be doing things right, we must look beyond the first dollar cost of itemsand keep the emphasis on maximizing lifecycle cost benefits.What are we missing?Periodically, we should take a step back and think about what else we should do that isnot being done already to improve our water security posture. Installations must identifyviable water conservation, water efficiency, and water management projects, newapproaches, and innovative funding solutions to maximize benefits to the Army.Effective and responsible leaders at all levels must ask these three questions so that wecan better manage limited resources and reinforce the things that are being done well.With increased decision making opportunities at all levels, we can make a difference.Let’s all take responsibility for improving our installation water security plans and theInstallation Management Community.CONTENTSDefense Water GuidanceArmy Water GuidanceMoving To Water SecurityBest Management Practices & Projects toAchieve SuccessMajor Water ProgramsWay Ahead3Page 4Page 5Page 6Page 7Page 56Page 59
DEFENSE WATER GUIDANCEDepartment of Defense Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan (SSPP)The Under Secretary’s 8 Oct 10 memo directed each Military Department and DefenseAgency to disseminate the SSPP widely; review the 2010 Defense Policy and PlanningGuidance for fiscal direction; to take responsibility for meeting the Plan’s performancetargets for water conservation; develop implementation plans, program resources toexecute, and report results to the Senior Sustainability Council semi-annually, using theweb-based Strategic Management System (SMS).The SSPP lays out goals and performance expectations for the next 10-years andestablishes a way forward.Sustainability is critical toDoD’s mission. The DoDsustainability vision is tomaintain the ability to operateinto the future without declinein either the mission or in thenatural or built infrastructure tosupport it.The delivery of potable waterto the war fighter in theaters ofoperation come with a highcosts in human and financialterms. The delivery of potablewater to enduring installationscannot compare in terms ofrisk to life and limb, but theneed to be mindful of wastefuluses of water shouldn’t be anyless whether on Fort Hood,Texas or a Forward OperatingBase in Afghanistan.The SSPP ( http://www.acq.osd.mil/ie/ ) spanning the period 2010 – 2020, wasdeveloped to comply with requirements of E.O. 13514 and beyond. The plan embracesa wide range of sustainability factors, including water efficiency and reclaimed water.The SSPP’s Goal #2 – Water Resources Management Improvement has three subgoals: a) Facility Potable Water Use, b) Irrigation & Industrial Water Use, and c) StormWater Management (Shared with Environment).4
ARMY WATER GUIDANCESecretary of the Army issued the Army Energy Security Implementation Strategy(AESIS) on January 13, 2009. The AESIS addresses the Army’s energy and watersecurity challenges through newlyestablished central leadership andWater Security Missionfive integrated goal-driven energyactivities. These goals implicitlyMake water a consideration in all Armyincorporate the fundamental principleactivities in an effort to reduce demand,that the improvements achieved shallincrease efficiency, seek alternativeenhance our operational capability tosources, and create a culture of waterensure the ability of the Army to carryaccountability while sustaining orout its primary missions.enhancing operational capabilities.IMCOM Energy Efficiency andSecurity Line of Effort (LOE) #6:KEYS TO SUCCESS1. Measure and reduce energy and waterconsumption2. Increase energy and water efficiencyand modernized infrastructure3. Improve development of renewable andalternative energy, and access toenergy and water supplies4. Improve development of renewable andalternative energy for vehicle fleetmobility fuel5. Reduce carbon “bootprint” on theenvironmentThe Installation Management Command(IMCOM) has developed an InstallationManagement Campaign Plan (IMCP) whichestablishes an integrated plan with sixessential Lines of Effort to execute key Family,facility, and mission initiatives to includeaddressing the overall Army Energy SecurityStrategy. The intent of IMCOM’s CampaignPlan’s Line of Effort 6 is to maintain energyand water efficient installations by holdingusers accountable, modernizing facilities,installing new technologies, and leveragingpartnerships that will provide an increasedlevel of energy security leading to sustainableand resilient infrastructure and missionassurance.Comprehensive Energy and Water Management Plans (CEWMP): A CEWMP is aroad map for each installation to attain and comply with the various provisions andrecommendations of Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), Energy Independence andSecurity Act of 2007 (EISA), Executive Orders (EO) 13423 and 13514, and the ArmyEnergy Security Implementation Strategy (AESIS). CEWMPs are a planning documentfor energy and water sustainability at the strategic level and establish a strategy foreach Installation to achieve and sustain energy management goals. This results in astandardized framework for assessing, measuring, defining and implementing currentand future energy and water strategies while making broad project recommendations forenergy and water sustainability. It is a process of visioning, assessment, analysis,development of plan directives, and the implementation of those directives.5
MOVING TO WATER SECURITYThe Army is taking advantage of new technologies to move toward a more secure andreliable water security future. We will pursue Alternative Water Sources includingrecycled graywater, reclaimed water, desalinated water, harvested rainfall, and stormwater runoff. We are implementing the Army Metering Implementation Plan approvedto install advanced utility meters on new and existing buildings in the Army, ArmyReserve and Army National Guard. When the water metering is complete,approximately 6,700 Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard facilities at over480 sites worldwide will have the capability to track and trend consumption, detect andrepair expensive leaks, make better decisions on energy and water use, and provide abaseline for developing new energy and water projects.We will utilize Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization (SRM) funded repairand modernization projects to incorporate the full range of technologies and includebuilding features such as water management systems, sensor-activated flushometers,ultra-low flow toilets, non-water using urinals, cooling tower water blow down reuse, andweather-sensitive irrigation system improvements. Conversion of water-cooledequipment to air-cooled machinery will also be included.We will incorporate the most efficient and cost-effective water technologies in newMilitary Construction projects. New holistic designs will consider all aspects of water,energy, and sustainable design features and will meet or exceed statutoryrequirements, following ASHRAE Standard 189.1 guidelines. More importantly, theseprojects will save water and energy, leverage alternative water sources, and reduce theArmy’s long-term operating costs.Complementing our water security efforts are Army initiatives in Low ImpactDevelopment (LID) for storm water management, which also impacts waterconsumption reduction efforts. We are also expanding our programs to implementreduced water use for irrigation, improved cycles of concentration in cooling towers, lowflow faucets and other fixtures, and application of low intensity development principlesconsistent with statute and industry standards per American Society of Heating, AirConditioning, and Refrigeration Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 189.1 and otherapplicable standards.6
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES &PROJECTS TO ACHIEVE SUCCESSFederal Water Efficiency Best Management PracticesFederal Water Efficiency Best Management Practices (BMPs) were developed inresponse to Executive Order (E.O.) 13123, which required Federal agencies to reducewater use through cost-effective water efficiency improvements. To account for thesuperseded requirement changes, water use patterns, and advancing technologies, theEnvironmental Protection Agency's WaterSense Office updated the original BMPs whenE.O. 13423 superseded E.O. 13123.Executive Order 13514 dated 5 October 2009 requires installations to reduce waterconsumption intensity by 2 percent annually through fiscal year 2020 or 26 percent bythe end of fiscal year 2020 using 2007 water data as the base year. The Army hasimplemented Federal Water Efficiency Best Management Practices to reduce water usethrough life-cycle cost-effective water efficiency improvements. ASHRAE 189.1prescribes technical performance standards for development of water measures forinside buildings and outdoor use.Completed Army Projects and Initiatives Exemplifying Water Efficiency BestManagement Practices (BMPs)Installations are pursuing many cost-effective water projects (like those in eachfollowing BMP) in a strategic manner towards achieving water conservation andmanagement goals. Readers are encouraged to identify what is of most benefit to theirinstallation and to share their experiences. The projects and programs can then bealigned with the BMP that best fits:BMP #1 - Water Management PlanningBMP #9 - Single-Pass CoolingBMP #2 - Information and EducationEquipmentProgramsBMP #10 - Cooling Tower ManagementBMP #3 - Distribution System Audits,BMP #11 - Commercial KitchenLeak Detection, and RepairEquipmentBMP #4 - Water-Efficient LandscapingBMP #12 - Laboratory/MedicalBMP #5 - Water-Efficient IrrigationEquipmentBMP #6 - Toilets and UrinalsBMP #13 - Other Water IntensiveBMP #7 - Faucets and ShowerheadsProcessesBMP #8 - Boiler/Steam SystemsBMP #14 - Alternate Water Sources7
BMP #1 – Water Management PlanningA successful water management program starts with a Water Management Plan (WMP)or a Comprehensive Energy and WaterManagement Plan (CEWMP). CEWMP’sare the road map for Installations to attainand comply with the various provisions andrecommendations of Energy Policy Act of2005 (EPAct), Energy Independence andSecurity Act of 2007 (EISA), ExecutiveOrder (EO) 13423 and the Army EnergySecurity Implementation Strategy (AESIS).CEWMPs are planning documents forenergy and water sustainability at thestrategic level; they establish for eachInstallation a strategy for achieving andsustaining energy management goals. Theprocess is the standardized framework forassessing, measuring, defining andimplementing current and future energy andwater strategies and making broad projectrecommendations for energy and watersustainability. It is a process of visioning,assessment, analysis, development of plan directives, and the implementation of thosedirectives.The WMP details how the installation uses water from the source until ultimate disposal.Knowing how it’s used and what it costs lets installations make appropriate watermanagement decisions. The WMP must have specific water use reduction goals andinclude a water use policy statement endorsed by senior leadership.The Army’s current goals are: Reduce potable water use consumption intensity 2% annually from a FY2007baseline for a total 26% through FY2020. The Army achieved a 15.3% reduction inFY2010, exceeding the progressive reduction target of 6% by FY2010. Reduce non-potable industrial, landscape irrigation, and agricultural water use 2%annually from a FY2010 baseline. The Army was not able to report separateindustrial, landscape irrigation and any agricultural water usage for FY2010, butwill for FY2011. These non-potable usages were reported as part of the FY2010potable water consumption, as permitted by DoE/FEMP.8
Additional elements of water management planning are discussed on the DOE/FEMPwebsite iciency bmp.html).An environmental management system (EMS) can serve as an excellent structure toestablish policies and goals related to water use. Water management planning andimplementation should not be separate and distinct from EMS. The approach youimplement for water management should follow the "Plan, Do, Check, Act" modelestablished under the EMS. Plan: Develop a water management plan, including establishing goals.Do: Implement the plan, including staff training and operational controls. This alsoincludes implementation of projects identified in the opportunity assessment.Check: Measure plan implementation.Act: Review progress and update the plan as necessary.List of Projects Exemplifying Best Management Practice #1INSTALLATIONSTATECamp EderleCamp HumphreysCamp LongCarlisle BarracksItalyKoreaKoreaPAFort HamiltonFort HuachucaNYAZFort HuachucaFort HuachucaFort MeadeFort Sam HoustonMcAlester AAPAZAZMDTXOKRoman Way VillageItalyPROJECT DESCRIPTIONInstall new water wellInstall water meters in all buildingsReplace water meter at water treatment plantEvaluate water treatment and distribution system forimprovementsInstall advance water meters post-wideInstall water meters for recharge basin flowmeasurementsCalibrate water well meters for flow usageRepair water system controlsReplace water wellRepair water system controlsWater Resource Management & Supply ContingencyPlan: Describe & evaluate water supply system undervarious conditions; develop contingency plans - respondto system failures (age, natural and manmade disasters)Inspect and report condition of rainwater lines9
BMP #2 - Information and Education ProgramsA public awareness and education program is essential to ensure that the users of newor retro-fitted water efficiency technologies are informed about the installation andtaught how to use them properly. A positive opinion about the installation’s waterconservation efforts by the residents and employees is a good news story that themedia is interested in reporting about. An installation should have an internal andexternal information and education program.Key components of an internal information program: A hotline or other communication system to report water leaks or other energywastes. Provide repair feedback promptly to encourage continued participation.Publicity about the installation’scommitment to water efficiency,improvements, and programsuccesses in a water conservationcolumn in the Post newspaper.Information sharing with employees onhow water is used and how it is usedfor each application. This letsemployee know how they can reducewater use.Signage near new equipmentinforming about the new technologyand how to use it properly.A suggestion and incentive system torecognize and encourage waterconservation.Training workshops for implementingwater efficiency best managementpractices. Train the trainer programs tomonitor and communicate progress.External information program elements: Work with local utilities and communities to develop comprehensive programs andto share successes with others.Invite local media to tour the installation to see first-hand the water efficiencyprogram and achieved successes.Create exhibits and other display items presenting the installation water efficiencyand savings for posting in public spaces, community activity areas, and installationmain access points.Make use of Internet websites, brochures, and other materials to employees andthe public at large describing the water program, goals, and successes.10

BMP #3- Distribution System Audit, Leak Detection, & RepairA distribution system audit, leak detection,and repair program helps the installationreduce water loss and make better use oflimited water resources. An aging militaryinstallation loses more than 10% of itstotal water produced or purchased tosystem leaks or poor metering practices(e.g., under registration, reading errors,poor installation, or wear). Beforedeveloping or procuring additional watersupplies, conduct a survey of thedistribution systems; the benefits include: Reduced water losses: Reducing water losses stretch existing supplies to meetincreasing demand, deferring construction of new water facilities such as wells,reservoirs, or treatment plants.Reduced operating costs: Repairing leaks saves money by reducing power coststo deliver water and chemical costs to treat water.Increased knowledge of the distribution system: Gain familiarity of the system–know where mains and valves are -- personnel respond faster to emergencies.Reduced property damage: Repairing system leaks prevents damage to propertyand safeguards public health and safety.Validated justification for water management: Routine water audits verifiesproduction, better accountability, and validates need to reduce water losses.O&M Tips:To maintain water efficiency in installation water distribution systems: Repair leaks or replace pipes when leaks are first found. Leaks do go away. Develop annual distribution flushing plans to minimize water usage. For specific issues, consult with your network of experts: regional or headquartersengineers, experienced contractors, other Government agencies, nearbyinstallation or base civil engineers of other Military Services.List of Projects Exemplifying Best Management Practice #3Tooele Army Depot, UT LeakDetection Program: A Lean Six Sigmaproject was created in an effort to locate andrepair water line breaks. A detection devicethat is a result of research performed by theTooele Team saved 12,000,000 gallons ofwater during FY 2008 by use of subsurfaceleak detection equipment to locate brokenwater lines. The team won the 2009 FEMP, Small Group Category. The water detection12
project evaluated the water system to determine sources of excess water use or loss,and had the added benefit of reducing water usage and updating the master planningmaps. Root causes validated on this project included: leaks in aged system,overflowing of cattle tanks, and fire hydrants not closed properly. The leak detectiondevice was purchased on a credit card for less than 1,000. Annual water consumptionwas reduced by over 86 million gallons with a cost savings of 70,000. Tooele ArmyDepot currently has 5 water projects, totaling 11.4M in the planning stages.INSTALLATIONAberdeen Proving GroundAberdeen Proving GroundAberdeen Proving GroundAberdeen Proving GroundAdelphi Laboratory CenterAnniston Army DepotBaumholder QM AreaBenjamin Franklin VillageBlue Grass Army DepotCamp CarrollCamp CaseyCamp EderleCamp EderleCamp EderleCamp HenryCamp HenryCamp HumphreysCamp HumphreysCamp HumphreysCamp HumphreysCamp JacksonCamp Red CloudCamp WalkerCamp WalkerConn BarracksDetroit ArsenalDetroit ArsenalSTATEPROJECT DESCRIPTIONMDMDMDReplace chill water lines (4400/4500 blk)Repair hot water lines (4300 blk)Replace hot water heating/chilled water lines(4400 block)MDReplace water main @ Rte 24 & Trimble RdMDReplace HTW lines (bldg #106-202)ALRepair potable & fire fighting water mains inammo areaGermany Replace water distribution mains (WetzelHousing & Baumholder Military Community)Germany Install backflow preventerKYRepair/upgrade water distribution mains, line towater tower and fire reservoir.KoreaReplace Cast Iron water line w/ PVCKoreaRepair leaking settling tank (bldg #2344)ItalyUpgrade drinking water treatment plantItalyReplace water distribution pump (bldg #52/451)ItalyReplace steam/condensate lines (bldg #302/308/395KoreaReplace water supply to 5 bldgs and old/rustyhot and cold water lines (bldg #1225)KoreaReplace entire installation water systemKoreaReplace existing water & fire distribution mainsKoreaReplace 6” A/C raw water line w/ 8” PVC (#797)KoreaInstall water metersKoreaReplace hot water supply/return lines (700 blk)KoreaRepair 150,000 gallon water tankKoreaRepair leaking branch water linesKoreaReplace galvanized water pipes with PVCKoreaReplace hot and cold water linesGermany Replace water mains (bldg #9 & 10)MIReplace water supply lines (bldg #200A, B & C)MIInstall potable/fire fighting water main to NorthPost.13

BMP #4 - Water-Efficient LandscapingTraditional landscapes require supplemental water to thrive in most locations. Kentuckybluegrass, for example, is native to regions that receive in excess of 40 inches per yearof precipitation, but it is frequently planted in areas across the country that receive muchless precipitation. Irrigation must make up the difference between landscape waterrequirement
ARMY WATER VISION 2017 This Portfolio embraces the Army Vision for a "Net Zero Installation." The vision is to appropriately manage the natural resources with a net zero strategy. To achieve a Net Zero Water Installation, efforts begin with conservation followed by efficiency in use and improved integrity of distribution systems.
