Abstract/Contents:Discusses the potential inability of golf course irrigation systems to "keep up" during drought conditions. Explains that "irrigation systems are designed around average annual rainfall." Continues to explain the relationship between average rainfall, transpiration rates, and irrigation requirements. Mentions that irrigation systems are not programmed "to completely supplant rainfall [because]..Doing so would result in a massive increase in costs."
