| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses research conducted at the Morris Williams Municipal Golf Course in Austin, Texas to "quantify nutrient transport in surface and subsurface drainage waters from a golf course watershed." Describes the conditions of the experiment, stating that "four sites within the study area were insturmented with automated samplers to collect periodic water samples. The four sites were identified as: Site 1 (surface water entrance to the study area), Site 2 (surface water exit from the study area), Site 3 (subsurface drainage for the fairway south of the stream and green of hole number 15), and Site 4 (the fairway north of the stream and tee area of hold number 15)...[and] inflow to the course was measured by relating the stream depth collected every 15 minutes to area-velocity flow measurements for two entrance culverts...[and] an area-velocity meter and crest stage gauges were installed to measure the discharge leaving the course." Results include that "based on grab sample data, the golf course contributed a significant increase in median concentration of NO3+NO2 (+0.46mgL-1) to baseflow exiting the course. NH4-N concentrations were reduced in the baseflow (-0.06mg L-1), and the course had no significant effect on PO4-P concentrations in baseflow." Also reports that "the estimated average annual combined load of NO3-N in the drainage water associated with Site 3 (0.77kg ha-1) and Site 4 (1.92kg ha-1) was 2.7 kg ha-1 (approximately 2.5% of the amount of nitrogen applied on the study area)." Concludes that the turf manager's "choice of management practices is critical for controlling and/or reducing surface runoff and potential for nutrient transport." |
