Watershed Management Strategy Based on Location-Specific Aquatic Biodiversity

Lyceum-Northwestern University integrates watershed protection and biodiversity considerations into its sustainability and environmental management policies. While the University is not directly located within a major watershed boundary, it implements practices aligned with watershed management principles by supporting activities that protect water bodies, maintain ecological balance, and reduce pollution entering local waterways. The University’s environmental policies emphasize responsible waste management, proper chemical handling, and prevention of harmful discharges, helping preserve the health of aquatic habitats connected to local watersheds.

Through academic programs, research activities, and community engagement, L-NU promotes awareness of aquatic biodiversity and its importance in watershed ecosystems. Faculty and students participate in field studies, environmental monitoring, and community outreach activities that highlight species diversity and the need for location-specific conservation approaches.

The University’s SDG Road Mapping Policy reinforces these efforts by adopting strategies aimed at protecting aquatic ecosystems, maintaining water quality, and supporting conservation initiatives that are sensitive to local ecological conditions. These actions contribute to the sustainable management of watershed areas and the protection of species that depend on them.
