Councillors have approved a proposal to introduce hydro-seeding as part of Bahrain’s national afforestation and landscape beautification strategy.
The initiative, titled ‘Using Hydro-Seeding Technology for Beautification and Reforestation of Open and Eroded Areas’, was presented by Northern Governorate constituency 11 (southern Hamad Town and Dar Kulaib) representative Abdulla Ibrahim Al Thawadi.
Approved unanimously by the Northern Municipal Council yesterday, the move calls for the adoption of an eco-friendly and cost-effective planting method that involves spraying a mixture of water, seeds, fertilisers, organic fibres and natural adhesives directly onto the soil using special equipment.
