Environmental Initiatives
Water is the most precious and scarce resource in the region. Therefore, for its various projects, the company’s horticulturists select plants that are drought tolerant or resistant. In addition to plant selection, the water holding capacity of the planting medium is enhanced by the incorporation of soil ameliorants like water retention products and peat moss.
Water retention compound has also been applied in many projects completed by GLIS and this has helped in up to 50% water conservation with no adverse effects on plant growth. This saving is the result of keeping the irrigation water bound to the product in the root zone where it’s readily available to the plants.
