Abstract/Contents: | A study was conducted "to quantify the variability in water demand across a single golf course and evaluate the accuracy of weather station-generated evapotranspiration (ET) estimates for determining irrigation needs for one Kansas golf course." Evapotranspiration was measured on four tees on precipitation-free summer days, and the researchers' evapotranspiration measurements were compared to those provided by the course's weather station. Evapotranspiration was found to vary among the tees, so that the overall estimate provided by the weather station was not accurate for all tees. "Assuming well-watered conditions, using weather station-estimated ET as the sole guide for irrigation would have resulted in excess application of 20 mm water per week on tee no. 7, the tee with the lowest water demand. Hence, weather station-estimated ET should not be used exclusively to determine turf water requirements." |
