USP through your eyes

Just next to the USP front upper gate, behind the security house is a pool of water. Purposely I believed this is to grow water lilies as part of the beautification of the campus. But carefully observing, it is of concern worth considering. Can’t it be a breeding ground for mosquitoes? I believe this is one of the breeding ground for mosquitoes which pose the risk of dengue. There are some thoughts which I would like to see happening to this pool of water. There should be proper drainage system to let the water flow rather than becoming still as now. It should be cleaned regularly so that there would be no room for breeding mosquitoes. The water flow can keep the freshness of the pool and not still and smelly as the current state. Proper outlet drainage and regular clean up can make it a beauty as intended.
