| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that "turfgrass can actually conserve water." States that "perhaps one of the laest recognized functional benefits of turfgrasses is the ability to entrap and hold rainfall better than most surfaces, thereby reducing water loss by runoff and enhancing the potential for ground water recharge." Lists other functional benefits of turfgrass including "dust stabilization"; "glare reduction"; and "reduced fire hazard." |
