6.3.5) Water-conscious planting
Plant landscapes to minimise water usage.
Both the Tamsui campus and the Lanyang campus of the university are located in areas with abundant rainfall all year round and are with a high green coverage ratio. The large green space functions smoothly in water conservation and carbon neutrality. Local native plants are prioritized for campus planting. With the principle of vegetation diversity, both landscape beauty and ecological conservation are taken into consideration when planning landscape. More drought-tolerant plants are planted on campus every year to reduce water consumption and meet campus greening needs. The sprinkler irrigation system all over the campus also adopts water-saving valves, which can adjust the sprinkler irrigation time and intensity according to the weather conditions and reduce the water consumption of sprinkler irrigation.
