| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses water as a potential landscaping feature on golf courses, suggesting that "golf courses with advanced water features provide a corridor for numerous species of migrating and resident birds whose survival is dependent on areas surrounding rivers and lakes." Highlights fountainscapes, pondless waterfalls, and ecosystem ponds as potential water feature types, explaining that "ecosystem ponds are the most dynamic of the smaller water feature types, but they can be easy to understand if the components that go into a basic, functioning aquatic ecosystem are understood...A filtration system is required to maintain a clean ecosystem pond." Concludes that "water gardening is a largely untapped technology which can provide a viable landscaping option to enhance golf course clubhouse and grounds facilities." |
