Abstract/Contents: | "One objective of modern sports turf construction specifications is to increase the playability of surfaces by specifying a profile with optimum moisture retention and rate of water movement. The ability to control both the rate of water movement and profile moisture content is, arguably, the single most important strategy in the management of fine turf. Employing advances in construction technology and scientific knowledge of profile materials can result in higher quality playing surfaces on bowling and golf greens." Further discusses the importance in identifying infiltration problems and lists some suggested methods to measure water infiltration, and explains the margin of error in these methods. |
