| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a survey "to ascertain the level of satisfaction with the use of reclaimed water among golf superintendents experienced in the use of such water, and to determine the problems they have encountered with its use." Results include that "more than 90 percent of the superintendents reported that they were satisfied or very satisfied with reclaimed water as a source for irrigation. However, it is important to note that the survey was directed toward golf courses located inland, in order to avoid highly saline reclaimed water. Satisfaction could be much lower for such water...Some problems with algal growth on greens or in holding ponds were attributed to nutrients (N, P) in the water. The respondents generally liked using reclaimed water because of the assurance of having an adequate quantity of water for irrigation, and because they considered it to be a water-conserving technique...The superintendents considered reclaimed water to be cost effective. However, a very interesting finding of the survey was that there was a large variation in the charge made by reclaimed water suppliers [for] the water, which ranged from no charge to hundreds of thousands of dollars annually." |
