| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the influences of limited water on golf course design. States that "limited water has been around forever in many areas of the world and water harvesting (now called water conservation) has also been around forever. We have progressed significantly in technical achievements which assist us in a limited water situation. However, water retention, or if you would prefer, the old water barrel or cistern concept has always been high on our design priority list." Also states that "every golf course today that is being built, new or [remodeled], now has the the addded design and planning element of the Long Range Water Management Plan in the feasibility analysis." Discusses Master Water Collection or Water Retention Plans that consider "total watershed, storm run off, recycling or effluent irrigation, development run off, etc., and all of the studies have their own set of rules and regulations for water conservation." Discusses the formation of "The Green Machine" by the irrigation industry, agronomists, turf equipment manufacturers, turf management, landscape architects, planners, United States Golf Association (USGA) Green Section, superintendents, and golf course architects to "learn more ways to produce and continue to improve our industry in every condition and particularly in limited water situation" and mentions advancements made by different segments of the Green Machine, including drought and disease resistant grasses and improved irrigation systems. Concludes that "professional dedication, pride, study and honest hard work is the answer" to designing golf courses in limited water environments. |
