Abstract/Contents:Profiles Hilton Head Island golf courses in South Carolina, stating that "the area...suffered one of its driest summers in [2006]." States that "year-to-date rainfall totals on the island are down about 1 foot through August, compared with [2005]." Explains that "each course [on Hilton Head Island] has a contract with the utility that specifies a minimum daily allotment of relaimed water...the average daily minimum is approximately 250,000 gallons." States that "golf courses can buy more reclaimed water if it is available, and usually there is plenty to go around...but [2006's] dry conditions and renovation projects at several courses...have placed a squeeze on the supply."
