| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles The Toronto Golf Club in Toronto, Canada. Discusses water management at club, stating that "The Toronto Golf Club used the Etobicoke Creek as its primary irrigation water source for several decades." Describes problems in turfgrass quality and vigor at the course caused by poor water quality. States that "in order to improve the health and vigour [vigor] of turf, trees and ornamentals throughout the property, several stresses had to be dealt with, in addition to water quality issues. The game plan at The Toronto Golf Club centred [centered] on providing an optimal growing environment, including adequate sunlight and air movement." Details the process of changing the club's irrigation source to Lake Ontario. States that "the permit to take water for Lake Ontario was issued in the fall of 2005 and the system was first utilized during the spring of 2006. Water quality testing from the lake and reservoir continued from the onset of the project to monitor any potential changes throughout the irrigation seasons." Concludes that "the club is relieved to have found an alternative irrigation water source that will provide an adequate supply of a precious resource." |
