| Abstract/Contents: | Describes issues discusses at a Canadian water workshop, including "1) water use regulations and the rationale for water conservation; 2) the role of water in sports turf management; 3) effective irriation; and 4) importance of good fields to the end user." States that "where regulation and professional sports field management fail to meet is in the development of policy that takes into account effective field irrigation. There is a range of approaches to water restrictions but most are based on time and day of the week restrictions such as odd and even date watering corresponding to the municipal address of properties as well as limited time frames during the day when irrigation may be applied." Concludes that "utilizing best management practices, staying current with regards to technology and cultural management techniques, investigating alternative water sources as well as communicating effectively with user groups and policy makers are all key in developing a water conservation strategy that will promote safe and functional sports fields." |
