| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses water usage and irrigation efficiency in the U.S. and relates these topics to turfgrass management. Contrasts the plant water needs in the arid West versus those in the humid East. Emphasizes the importance of water conservation practices and provides data which informs of increasing demands for water used in landscaping. Includes details on the following topics: recommended amount of water for turfgrass irrigation, calculating recommended water quantity to actual run time on an irrigation controller, and optimizing irrigation application to achieve successful water infiltration and system uniformity. |
