BAAU incorporates drought-tolerant plants in its landscaping to minimize water usage and promote sustainable practices.
Baku Eurasian University is continually growing. As the campus expands, green spaces constitute a significant part of this growth. The objective has been to minimise parking areas while maximising green spaces throughout the university. However, increasing these green spaces necessitates a higher amount of water for irrigation. Furthermore, incorporating drought-tolerant plants into these newly developed green areas is another strategy that helps decrease water usage for their irrigation. The pine tree is a well-known species recognized for its drought-resistant qualities, which not only enhances the landscape but is also a productive, evergreen plant.
The university adopts water-efficient landscaping practices to minimize water consumption. Plants are watered during the early morning or late evening to reduce evaporation, and soil quality is improved with compost to enhance moisture retention. Additionally, the university emphasizes awareness and proper maintenance by training grounds staff on efficient watering techniques and running student campaigns to promote water-wise landscaping habits across campus.
