| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses potential advantages and disadvantages to irrigating a golf course with recycled water. States that "for golf courses located in arid regions of the [United States] and in highly populated metropolitan areas where water is a limited natural resource, irrigating with recycled water is a viable means of coping with water shortages and/or rising water costs." Explains that "recycled water is any water that has undergone one cycle of human use, and after treatment, is suitable for limited reuse, including irrigation. Recycled water is also referred to as reclaimed water, wastewater, effluent water, treated effluent water and treated sewage water....Recycled water may be primary, secondary or advanced (also called tertiary) treated municipal or industrial wastewater." States that "almost all golf courses in the U.S. [United States] supplement natural precipitation with irrigation. Sources of irrigation water are: potable water, wells, lakes, rivers, canals and recycled water." Mentions that "successful irrigation management at a golf course requires regular monitoring of both soil and water chemistry, especially salt content. It also requires knowledge of local soil conditions, primarily soil texture and drainage characteristics." Reports that "the severity of problems associated with salt-laden irrigation water can change significantly because of the diverse conditions at different golf courses." Lists salinity, sodium content, sodium absorption ration (SAR), interaction of salinity and SAR, bicarbonate and carbonate, pH, chloride, chlorine, and boron as agrnomic concerns related to irrigating with recycled water. Also lists potential irrigation system issues, including the addition of water storage facilities; labeling, tagging, and painting of irrigation system components, and filtration. Concludes that "recycled water is an increasingly attractive alternative to the often high-priced, limited supply of potable water available for irrigating golf courses. Depending on recycled water quality, irrigation with such water is often better tolerated by turfgrasses than by other landscape plants...Good communication among golf course operators, knowledgeable recycled water purveyors and local regulators is of utmost importance in increasing the use of this valuable resource." |
