6.3.5) Water-conscious planting
Plant landscapes to minimise water usage.

Our Tamsui and Lanyang campuses are located in New Taipei City's Tamsui and Yilan County's Jiaoxi mountain area, respectively, both of which receive abundant rainfall throughout the year. The campuses are covered with lush green grass, with a high green coverage rate. The large green spaces serve the dual functions of retaining moisture and carbon neutrality. The campus prioritizes the planting of local native plants, balancing beautiful landscapes and ecological conservation under the principle of vegetation diversity. The campus has been gradually replacing plants with drought-tolerant species over the years, with about 600 planted in the Tamsui campus and approximately 17,950 planted around the Lanyang campus, campus roads, and slopes, to save water and meet the campus greening needs. The sprinkler system throughout the campus also uses water-saving valves, adjusting the sprinkling time and intensity according to weather conditions to reduce the water resources consumed by sprinkling.
