| Abstract/Contents: | States that "a critical water use balance is essential to maintain a healthy, safe and functional turf sports field." Suggests that "an effective water efficiency plan should separate the water efficiency program for sports fields from the outdoor landscape water use program." Lists potential factors sports turf managers should understand when implementing water efficiency, including "soil water holding capacity"; "drainage"; "infiltration rates"; "compaction"; and "evapotranspiration rates." Discusses the importance of record keeping and the use of dedicated water meters. Profiles the Historical Water Use Baseline (HWUB), stating that it is affected by "original irrigation design"; "original irrigation installation"; "maintenance of system"; and "management of system." Concludes that "[one] cannot effectively manage that which has not been effectively measured." |
