| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses water preservation efforts in the Australian golf industry. States that "within Australia a number of water resources have been utilized to keep...courses green, including potable mains water [water mains], stormwater runoff, rivers, lakes, underground water and recycled effluent." Explains that "The Society of Australian Golf Course Architects and its members are dedicated to designing and developing more environmentally sustainable golf courses, which are well adapted to local climate, soils, water, drainage, grasses, vegetation as well as to the expectations of golfers." Suggests that "the efficient use and protection of water resources is a key responsibility of the golf course architect." Briefly mentions case studies at three golf courses in Australia "that have all addressed the management of water resources." |
