Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the 2006 Rain Bird Intelligent Use of Water Summit held in Pasadena, California, suggesting that "the Water Summit offered a good perspective on water conservation efforts by [the turf] industry and what needs to be done to improve these efforts." States that "water conservation efforts are concerned with prioritizing uses...By making efficient use of water, more is available for other uses." Explains that "when [one uses] water for domestic or industrial use, about 90 percent of the water used is eventually returned to water bodies or ground water where it replenishes water sources and can be used for other purposes. But for irrigation, only about half is reusable. The rest is lost to evaporation or transpiration." Mentions that "irrigation manufacturers continue to introduce a wide array of products, such as controllers, sprinkler heads, micro-irrigation, to improve efficiency of water use in irrigation." Concludes that individual "efforts to educate...customers on irrigation operation will go along way in helping conserve water and will also leave a favorable impression on...customers about [one's] company." |
