| Abstract/Contents: | Details the design and implementation of an irrigation system at Paradise Valley Country Club in Paradise Valley, Arizona. States the goals of the project: "reduce irrigated turf, improve efficiency, and meet the water allotment" by reducing water use by 76 AF (acre-feet). Contains reports from the course superintendent, irrigation system designer, and irrigation system manufacturer discussing the specifications, areas of focus, and installation of the new system. Provides an independent university assessment of the system reporting that "analysis indicates the club should expect to see a water savings of 10%." Concludes that "the result is the first-ever irrigation system guaranteed to either meet or exceed a minimum performance standard...The 501 AF [acre-feet] used shattered our water use goal and was well below our water allotment." |
