Abstract/Contents: | "Golf courses are highly conspicuous consumers of surface and ground waters for irrigation purposes. As such, golf courses receive considerable public scrutiny on water use as well as on the impacts of management practices on surface and groundwater quality. Soil water repellency is a well established phenomenon in all soils supporting highly managed turfgrass stands. The objective of this presentation is to use recent findings from research conducted on irrigated, water repellent soils (with and without surfactant treatments) to illustrate the effects of soil water repellency on distribution uniformity and irrigation efficiency and its influence on maximization of irrigation inputs and minimization of losses from evaporation, runoff (overland flow), and leaching below the rootzone. Cost-benefit analyses will be presented for management of soil water repellency and the concomitant potential for water conservation." |
