Question: | "Our course is located in a desert climate and I am intersted in conserving as much water on our golf course as possible. What suggestions might you offer?" |
Source of Question: | Arizona |
Answer/Response: | "For starters, check the irrigation distribution uniformity of your large turf areas by performing a catch can test. Uniformity of a well-designed and maintained system should be at least 75% and potentially exceed 80%. Another area where more significant savings are possible is in the clubhouse landscape beds. Spray-type nozzles that normally yield very poor uniformity (often in the range of 40% to 55%) can be retrofitted with drip irrigation systems that can increase efficiency upwards to 95%!" |
