Abstract/Contents:A new soil layering system developed by ZinCo. expressly for establishing rooftop turf was tested along with the commonly used one-layer system to ascertain the amounts of water that would be retained from rainfall alone. Eleven different mixtures of grasses were planted in eleven different arrangements of the two soil systems. The grasses, planted in the late summer of 1987, were tended to once a year for the removal of foreign grasses. The average monthly amount of rainfall in Veitshöchheim during the course of the experiment was ca. 47mm. Of this amount, ca. 21mm or 45% was subject to evapotranspiration. The thickness of the soil construction had no noticeable effect upon the total amounts of water flowing through the soil. The soil systems by ZinCo reduced the evapotranspiration by 11-17%, amounting to a flow through amount of 26.75 l/m2, as opposed to the 25.60 l/m2 of the single layer structure.
