How to manage water at Golf Courses?
The cost of water use on a golf course is a significant part of the overall maintenance budget.
Water scarcity is a global issue that impacts a variety of industries, including agriculture and the environment. It has a direct and considerable impact on golf course water management. This has led to greenkeepers irrigating in a more efficient and sustainable manner, utilising new technologies to achieve new objectives.
Water resource management is critical in terms of both economic and environmental costs, as well as public perception.Water is used extensively on golf courses for irrigation and other uses. An average 150-acre golf course uses about 200 million gallons of water per year, which is enough to provide 300 GPD of water to 1,800 homes.
Domestic water use must also be considered if the golf course is part of a golf community or resort. Golf course management must also maintain water features such as ponds and water hazards, which are susceptible to eutrophication and the smells, algae, and toxicity that come with them.
Water Features with Aeration
A powerful aeration system is one of the finest ways to maintain water free of algae and stink. By decomposing organic waste, lowering algae, and slowing sediment accumulation, active aeration improves water quality and helps reduce fish kills. It also helps manage mosquito populations by reducing smells.
Netsol's equipment is suitable for all-year use in freshwater bodies with a depth of 4 to 15 feet. Spraying, splashing, and smells are all eliminated through aeration beneath the surface. Float-mounted aerator requires no extra blowers, pumps, or mounting platforms.
Reuse of Golf Course Water
For golf course irrigation, water reuse is a fantastic solution.
According to the Indian Golf Association, 13% of golf courses use recycled water for irrigation. Water reuse was used on as many as 60% of golf courses in Orange County, for example. It is not only better for the environment to use recycled water instead of potable water, but it is also less expensive.
Water reuse, on the other hand, has its own set of difficulties. For one thing, many wastewater sources are excessively saline and contain other toxins, necessitating treatment prior to use.
Desalinating rec?ycled water with reverse osmosis has proven to be beneficial to many golf courses in India (RO).
Lower leaching, a firm/fast course, significant water savings, and drastic reductions in gypsum, herbicide, and top-dressing requirements are just a few of the advantages. Because wastewater is less saline than seawater, desalination costs are reduced significantly.
Netsol designs and produces efficient modular RO units that are suited for golf courses and are small enough to be hidden.
In golf communities and resorts, decentralised reuse is common!
Guests at resorts and homebuyers in golf communities are becoming increasingly worried about their carbon footprint. “Audubon International's Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf” has already accredited around 1,000 golf course communities in 27 countries, many of which include residential areas.
In a 2020 article, homebuyers were advised to investigate how much and when, a golf community uses water, as well as, if it uses reclaimed wastewater to irrigate, among other things.
Building and maintaining pipes for transferring wastewater to and from distant treatment plants for reuse is both costly and energy-intensive. Instead, treating the wastewater on-site and then reusing it locally makes more sense.
Netsol's modular wastewater treatment units employ membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) technology to convert raw urban sewage into high-quality irrigation effluent.
MABR has a very small footprint and can be implemented very quickly.One of the primary financial hurdles to irrigation reuse pipelines is eliminated by adopting decentralised wastewater treatment, which recycles wastewater from sources directly adjacent to the course.
