| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses water management on sports fields, suggesting that "the challenge for any sports field manager is relying on a traditional irrigation controller with a set daily schedule in minutes of run time." States that "experience in applying ET [evapotranspiration] based irrigation scheduling has generally shown from 30-50% in water savings with some case studies even higher." Provides methods for calculating estimated monthly water use of a sports field and suggests the use of a trained irrigation auditor. |
