Water Conscious Planting

The University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa (UoWA) applies a water-conscious landscaping approach designed to minimise water use while supporting sustainable campus development and landscape management.

Campus landscaping incorporates native and drought-tolerant plant species, including Acacia tortilis, Salsola spp., and Teucrium polium, where appropriate to the campus environment.

The university also uses treated and recycled water, together with harvested rainwater, for suitable non-potable landscaping applications.

Water-Efficient Irrigation

UoWA uses ICT-enabled irrigation technologies to support efficient water management. Soil-moisture monitoring and automated irrigation scheduling help adjust irrigation according to landscape requirements and reduce unnecessary watering.

The combination of drought-tolerant planting, efficient irrigation, and the use of suitable non-potable water sources supports the university's efforts to minimise water use in campus landscaping.

The landscaping programme forms part of UoWA's wider Water Conservation Policy and its approach to sustainable campus development.
