| Abstract/Contents: | States that secondarily treated wastewater effluent is a potential source for irrigation water may have high salinity and sodium rates. Describes Research at the University of Arizona examining the effect of effluent water on turf and soil quality on two different sites. Site 1 is located at the Arthur Pack Golf Course in Tucson, Arizona. The soil is a gravelly, sandy loam with a cation exchange content of 16 meq/100g. The turf is common bermudagrass maintained at 1.5 inches and irrigated with five acre-feet of water/acre/year. The water provides five pounds each of nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfate-S per 1000 square feet/year under the current irrigation regime and has a sodium absorption ratio of 3.6. In comparison to plots of turfgrass irrigated with potable water for three and a half years, little detrimental change has been found to occur from the effluent water. The soil subjected to effluent treatment when compared to potable water irrigated soil had more sodium, potassium, electrical conductivity, phosphorus, pH, and exchangeable sodium percentage. Site two was located at the Ocotillo Golf Course. This study was using a lower quality of effluent water, mixing effluent and potable water and applying different perception rates for each water source. Deep soil sampling is providing information on the accumulation of organic matter, organic and inorganic nitrogen, pH, electrical conductivity, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, zinc, copper, iron and manganese in relation to the quality and quantity of water applied. |
