Abstract/Contents: | Presents the possibility of a water crisis projected to affect 2-7 billion people worldwide. Describes the contents of the Water Bill introduced by the British Government, proposing that everyone demonstrate the efficient use of available water resources. Discusses how users of spray irrigation for sports turf will be affected by the Water Bill and offers suggestions to improve current irrigation systems to make them more efficient. Also discusses the idea of wellpoint systems and how they may become more cost effective as a viable choice for an irrigation water supply source. |
