| Abstract/Contents: | "A case-study including a performance audit survey was conducted at Heritage Palms Golf and Country Club in Fort Myers, Florida during the summer of 2017 to determine if there might be significant increases in water-use efficiency after redesign and retro fitting from larger rotors to smaller rotors. The number 10 tee complex was evaluated, both prior to and after the retrofit, with subsequent averages calculated for Distribution Uniformity values. Average values for D.U. were observed to have increased from .60 to .76 ('Before/After') as a result of the installation and upgrade to the new design using smaller heads. Ensuing worksheets recommended a comparative scheduling decrease in Adjusted Run Time of 25% (from 93 minutes per week to 70 minutes per week) based on the increase in the Distribution Uniformity values. This represents a reduction in irrigation gallons of approximately 65 percent for this particular tee complex or a savings of water equal to approximately 162,000 gallons per year based on comparative usage. Theoretically, if all 18 tee complexes were upgraded a water savings of nearly 3,000,000 gallons per year could be experienced." |
