# The University of Pretoria says a range of recent projects at the Hatfield Campus is reaffirming its commitment to optimal stormwater management, rainwater harvesting and reducing its environmental footprint. The institution has recently implemented parking lot rainwater collection system, which enables the collection of rainwater off a new lightweight roof that provides shade to cars parking in selected campus bays. The university says the water collected will eventually help irrigate the Manie van der Schijff Botanical Gardens, which covers about 3.5 hectares of the campus.
