Landscapes to minimise water usage

The university has put in place a very successful model for landscape plantations. We have a thriving plantation of drought-tolerant plants to minimise the usage of water and support water conservation. The entire campus is spotted with various species of drought-tolerant plants.

Shoolini University’s commitment to water-efficient landscaping is evident in its extensive plantation of drought-tolerant plants and native trees across the campus. This landscape design, which integrates over 8,000 Cedrus deodara trees, 1,000 Quercus leucotrichora, and 400 Pinus roxburghii, not only adds beauty but also plays a critical role in water conservation. By intercepting rainfall through their foliage, these plants reduce runoff, allowing water to filter and infiltrate into the soil, which aids in recharging groundwater levels. With a focus on sustainable resource management, the university also planted species like Juniperus bermudiana and Punica granatum (5000+ plants), both of which require minimal water while enhancing the landscape's functionality and aesthetics. This model of drought-resistant landscaping demonstrates how thoughtfully selected flora can mitigate the impact of climate change and support conservation efforts.
