| Abstract/Contents: | "As the population grows rapidly in urban areas, water conservation has become a key priority for many municipalities throughout the United States. It has been estimated that approximately 30-50% of potable municipal water is used for residential landscape irrigation. While traditionally, homeowners have preferred landscapes composed predominantly of turfgrass, many communities are now enacting rebate programs which incentivize removal of turfgrass and conversion to alternative landscapes, with the goal of reducing outdoor water use. In some arid and semiarid areas, water conserving landscape designs and planting materials have been proposed for use in such landscapes. The objectives of this research are to evaluate water use, overall landscape performance, soil chemistry changes, and runoff volume and chemistry dynamics following various types of landscape conversions in comparison to established turfgrass systems. The results of this research would also be of interest to municipalities and water management districts in understanding the full implications of such conversions. All landscapes included in this study are: 1. 100% St. Auguestinegrass turf 2. Artificial turf 3. Xeriscaping (Native water conserving plant covered by mulch) 4. Xeriscaping (Native water conserving plant covered by decomposed granite) 5. Sandcapping turf system. Data indicated notable differences between the landscape types with regard to runoff volumes, chemistry, and temperatures." |
