SDG 6.3.5: Landscapes to minimize water usage

The university has built landscapes to minimize water use. Drought tolerant plants have been grown. Even when the rain stops, these plants are tolerant to these weather conditions, so they survive dry conditions while adding color and texture to our gardens. 

After completing the study of maps and determining the areas allocated to buildings and thus green spaces, the university administration proceeded to work on afforestation of the areas surrounding the project with cypress, pine and trees that do not require continuous irrigation works. The irrigation system was also introduced to the point on green spaces close to the buildings. 

The rainwater that is produced from the roads and landscapes has been used in the permanent drip irrigation system to irrigate the trees and plantings inside the campus, especially during the summer days.
