Abstract/Contents:Describes the American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA) water management education partnership with the Rain Bird Corporation, explaining the "the initiative invites industry experts to deliver webinars and presentations on key environmental issues related to water use on golf courses." Identifies the factors which determine turf water requirements as "climatic conditions, architectural design style, water supply, drainage, irrigation, and turfgrass selection," and states that "ensuring a highly efficient irrigation system design, selecting the right materials and choosing a quality irrigation installer are basic requirements to enable a knowledgeable operator to conserve water over the next 15-25 years." Recommends the use of a soil sensor in order to accurately monitor soil conditions and determine how much irrigation water is necessary. Mentions turf reduction as another method to reduce irrigation, noting that "golf courses employ architects to redefine grassing areas, converting out-of-play turf areas to native grasses or other landscape materials that do not require irrigation."
