Abstract/Contents:"Kansas State University, in cooperation with Jim Colbert, the PGA TOUR, the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA), and various alumni, built an 18-hole championship golf course near Manhattan, Kansas. The new golf course community occupies a land area of about 410 hectares (1,012 acres) with 60% of its area in the Little Kitten Creek watershed (430 hectares, 1,060 acres). The Little Kitten Creek watershed, previously native grassland, undertook a dramatic change in land-use and watershed management since golf course construction in July, 1998. A research project initiated in early 1998 enabled researchers to establish background surface water quality (total N, TN; total P, TP; and sediment concentrations, TSS) and evaluate changes in water quality during construction and operation of the golf course. Water quality data generated included the following: Water quality data were divided into three sets namely: pre-construction, during-construction, and early operation following construction. The mean concentrations of TN, TP, and sediment (TSS, total suspended solids) in pre-construction period were 1.18, 0.39, and 477 mg/L; during construction are 3.88, 0.93, and 2,754 mg/L; and during early operation 2.02, 0.49, and 550 mg/L; respectively. In general, construction activities had the greatest adverse impact on water quality. Nutrient concentrations in streams were greatly improved during early operation compared to the construction period, but still remain higher than the native prairie levels."
