| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses recycled wastewater as a potential source of turf irrigation. States that "with the greater demands on...water supplies for domestic consumption, there is less water available for irrigation purposes. With the increase in urban development there is not only a greater demand for potable waters but there is also more wastewater generated." Suggests that "the reuse of wastewater has a strong community appeal and it seems to be the right thing to do." Suggests that "the development and maintenance of a quality turf surface depends on the availability of a good quality water supply. All irrigation waters, including wastewater, contain varying concentrations of soluble salts and other elements. These may include sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, sulphate, boron, and nitrate. Of significant importance for wastewater use on turf areas is the nutrient content and in particular the nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations." Highlights the use of recycled wastewater at the Barwon Heads Golf Club in Australia, stating that "the main concern with the effluent is the high salinity, high sodium and high chloride. Observations to date indicate that there has been an excellent response to the water and no deleterious effects on either turf or soils." |
