| Abstract/Contents: | "This article summarizes the book Water Quality and Quantity Issues for Turfgrasses in Urban Landscapes, written by a task force of 25 scientists. The publication was the culmination of discussions and presentations from a three-day workshop hosted by the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST). Some of the major points of the publication include: Periods of peak demand for water are the driving force in decisions concerning distribution to the public and often lead to eliminating turfgrass irrigation by enacting public laws. Selecting the correct turfgrass for the climate in which it will be grown is the first step to water conservation. San Antonio, Texas decreased per capita water use by 40% since the early 1980s and has avoided conflict over landscape watering. The nation's water issues need to be addressed in an integrated manner. Perceived environmental problems must be addressed in terms of all the interrelationships and stakeholders associated with urban landscapes." |
