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

Our Tamsui and Lanyang campuses are located in Tamsui District, New Taipei City, and Jiaoxi mountain area of Yilan County, respectively. Both campuses 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 campuses prioritize the planting of native plant species, balancing beautiful landscapes and ecological conservation under the principle of vegetation diversity. Over the years, the campuses have been gradually replacing plants with drought-tolerant species, with about 600 planted on 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 campuses also uses water-saving valves, adjusting the sprinkling time and intensity according to weather conditions to reduce the water resources consumed by sprinkling.
