Abstract/Contents: | Discusses a joint effort between the Timuquana Country Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, and the Navy, which benefitted both parties. Timuquana had "succumbed to years of tree overgrowth and drainage problems. Its prime location, on the banks of the St. Johns River south of downtown Jacksonville, also provided the club with another challenge with regard to irrigation and water supply. The local agencies were not going to reissue necessary water permits to the club unless treated water was used to irrigate the golf course. The solution created a way for the golf club to reduce the amount of water taken from the Floridan aquifer and assist the Navy in its goal of releasing less treated water into the St. Johns River." |
