BAU prioritizes drought-tolerant plants and trees, such as cypress, pine, thuya, moringa, and aloe vera, alongside economically and environmentally beneficial crops like Quercus Ithaburensis, lote (Sidr), palm seedlings, grapes, and citrus. To conserve water, the university uses drip and subsurface irrigation and implements smart and soilless agriculture (hydroponics) in research areas. Green spaces are expanded at sites including Princess Rahma, Ajloun, and Al-Humra, supported by a plant nursery for propagating vegetation. Annual Tree Day events further enhance campus greenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These initiatives demonstrate BAU\u2019s commitment to water-efficient, eco-friendly landscaping, promoting biodiversity and sustainability, while contributing to SDG 6, SDG 12, and SDG 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator alignwide has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-theme-palette-9-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-73bfa5406c62d5ce8ae887d21f9a3328\" style=\"background-color:#00a7d1\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>BAU\u2019s Water-Efficient Landscaping Practices<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bau.edu.jo\/News\/NewsDetail.aspx?news_id=11137&amp;newsSourceType=1\"><strong>Smart Irrigation System<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bau.edu.jo\/bauar\/Units\/Sustainability\/2023\/Smart%20Organic%20Agricultural%20Technology.pdf\"><strong>Smart Agriculture bachelor\u2019s degree<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jordantimes.com\/news\/local\/training-course-wastewater-treatment-concludes-bau\"><strong>Training course on wastewater treatment concludes at BAU<\/strong><\/a><strong><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bau.edu.jo\/News\/NewsDetail.aspx?news_id=14371&amp;newsSourceType=1\"><strong>MoU with the Islamic Network for Water Resources Development and Management<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/sustainable.bau.edu.jo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/6.3.5-Water-Conscious-Planting_2026.pdf\" style=\"background-color:#00a7d1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">For more click here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Water-conscious Planting BAU spans multiple campuses across Jordan, applying sustainable landscaping practices adapted to diverse climates and soils.
