6.3.5 Water-conscious planting
Water Sensitive Planting
Boğaziçi University implements water-sensitive plant landscapes and green space arrangements to minimize water use. Boğaziçi University Department of Construction and Technical Affairs Environmental Regulation Branch Directorate is responsible for all green areas of the university and works to protect and develop the natural plant texture and add new areas within a sustainable landscape understanding.
Boğaziçi University Campuses 2023 Green Space Report
Natural ecosystems are preserved and self-sufficient plants are preferred on the university campuses. This approach significantly reduces the need for irrigation. Especially in Kilyos Sarıtepe Campus, it is aimed to use plants that need little water and in line with the protocol agreement with TEMA Foundation, endemic plants and dune flora of the ecosystem where the campus is located are protected.
Plants that require little water, such as the Common Lemongrass, False Lemongrass, Redbud, Cypriot Acacia, play an important role in the landscaping of these areas. In line with its sustainable campus goals, Boğaziçi University has also initiated research and projects for “smart plants” that are resistant to climate change. These projects support the university's efforts to conserve water resources and improve green space management based on sustainability principles.
