| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses ideas of water conservation and retention considering all facts of a turfgrass/landscaped area. Water waste minimization was a foremost concern taking into account irrigation systems designs and equipment, irrigation programs and soil maintenance. Water use must also be minimized through light watering. Evapotranspiration, the main facet of water conservation and retention, was studied in various aspects including mowing height, decreased nitrogen application and grass species affect upon Evapotranspiration (ET). A comparison study explored the effects of deficit quality on turf quality. Conclusions included that warm season grasses have a greater water conservation potential than do cool-season grasses; sprinkler irrigation was superior to subterranean irrigation for water conservation and turf quality and a well designed irrigation systems maximizes water conservation. Discussion indicated the more clayey a soil is, the higher its water holding capacity and availability (as indicated in the table and text) and thus, the more water necessary to wet it to a given depth. Rooting depth considerations were given when assigning a conservation program taking into account root depth (as shown in table) and environmental factors including soil type and mowing height. Individual turf species drought tolerance vary greatly and proved a concern as did their tolerance to soil salinity (both of which were listed in tables including both warm and cool season grasses). The use of effluent water for irrigation was discussed, citing factors in favor and against it. |
