| Abstract/Contents: | Summarizes a workshop focused on developing cost-effective irrigation systems. States that a cost-effective irrigation system is "one that achieves the desired turf irrigation outcome at the minimum cost." Explains that "the system cost is made up of the following elements": "initial capital cost"; "irrigation management cost"; "system service and upkeep costs"; "system maintenance costs"; and "system operating costs." Concludes that "ensuring irrigation systems provide cost-effective turf management solutions requires well installed, quality equipment that is continuously monitored and regularly serviced." |
