Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the benefits of subsurface drip irrigation which relieves compacted soil, improves safety for the players and allows for more flexibility. Addresses the recent increase in popularity of subsurface drip irrigation, particularly in the field of large playing surfaces. Presents the benefits of irrigating at the rootzone which eliminates potentially dangerous sprinkler heads and is more efficient then traditional irrigation. Cites Director of Recreation and Parks, Dennis Callahan, who commments "we scored a home run with the installation of subsurface drip irrigation. The newly-irrigated fields are safer and the improved aesthetics are a source of pride to everyone in the community." |
