The Water Network of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (Red del Agua UNAM) and the Program for the Management, Use, and Reuse of Water in UNAM (PUMAGUA) carried out a survey with the aim of knowing the water consumption practices of the university community in its campuses located in the Metropolitan Area of the Valley of Mexico. A sample of 2,095 students, academics, administrative and support staff participated in this survey. The results show that 74% of the sample consume bottled water and that their average spending is between 0.50 and 1 dollar per day (11 to 20 Mexican pesos). The rates of bottled water consumption contrasts with the perception about water quality, since only 13% consider water quality distributed in the water fountains located within university campuses as 'poor' or 'very poor'. The rates of bottled water consumption among university community are similar to the ones reported by studies in Mexico City and in Mexico as a whole, even though UNAM has a Water Observatory that allows people to know in real time water quantity and quality in university campuses.
墨西哥国立自治大学水网络（Red del Agua UNAM）和墨西哥国立自治大学水资源管理、利用和再利用计划（PUMAGUA）对墨西哥城大都市区校区的大学社区的用水习惯进行了调查。共有 2095 名学生、学者、行政和支持人员参与了这项调查。结果显示，74%的样本消费瓶装水，平均每天花费在 0.50 到 1 美元之间（11 到 20 墨西哥比索）。瓶装水消费率与对水质的看法形成对比，因为只有 13%的人认为分布在大学校园内饮水机里的水质是“差”或“很差”。大学社区的瓶装水消费率与墨西哥城和整个墨西哥的研究报告相似，尽管 UNAM 有一个水观测站，可以实时了解大学校园的水量和水质。
