| Abstract/Contents: | Provides results from both the Wisconsin and nation-wide surveys of golf course water use. States that "golf facilities account for 0.5% of all water withdrawn in the US, and only 1.5% of all water used for irrigation." Details average maintenance budgets, total irrigated acreage, water conservation practices already in place, and irrigation technology. Explains how to calculate a course's individual irrigation efficiency by dividing irrigation applied from the summer water deficit, and presents a table of Wisconsin golf course irrigation efficiency from 2007 through 2010. Concludes that "golf courses must continue to be proactive in their water conservation practices to achieve environmental and economic sustainability." |
