In 2018 the Environment Agency invited Esi to become a consultee for the development of the National Framework for Water Resource. With access to all of the available data, this document confirmed that without action there will be a shortfall of 3,435,000,000 L of water per day in England by 2050, due to climate change, population growth, and a near doubling of per capita consumption over the last 50 yr.</p><p>England Golf commissioned a report by Cranfield University in 2008 which highlighted the issues of water availability as a significant risk to the future of golf operations (Knox, Rodrigues, &amp; Weatherhead, <span>2007</span>). Environmental Solutions International referenced this report when reiterating the issues of water availability to the golf sector in 2018 and 2019. The combination of high numbers of leisure facilities, in areas of high population growth, increasing areas of water stress, and with over 60% of golf courses completely reliant on Public Water Supply (PWS) for irrigation, is simply unsustainable.</p><p>In August 2020, the 17 water companies in England and Wales retained Esi to undertake a project to benchmark water use in the leisure sector, to engage national representative association and governing bodies, and co-create the tools and guidance to help leisure facilities need to transition to more sustainable water sources.</p><p>The project scope was designed to provide information to assist the water companies and the Environment Agency in development of the required resource planning outlined in the National Framework for Water Resource up to 2045 and beyond.</p><p>The major water consumers were identified as golf, football, horse racing, and rugby allowing a focus on facility locations. The locations for these four sectors have been identified and cross matched with abstraction license volumes, abstraction availability data, catchment, and water body with the Environment Agency. Mains water consumption data acquisition has been challenging, at least partly due to the range of sites, the age of meters and the fact that many meter names do not relate to their purpose.</p><p>The more complex elements are related to engagement and gaining support from the leisure sector. The majority of the meetings and discussions during the early stages of the project had to provide reassurance that the project would result in true collaboration, allow the co-creation a range of actions, increase discussions around innovative solutions, and give the associations the confidence to work with Esi and the water companies to roll out the practical solutions developed.</p><p>The response from the leisure sector has been positive, and the discussions and meetings were encouraged to direct the projects dev","PeriodicalId":100722,"journal":{"name":"International Turfgrass Society Research Journal","volume":"14 1","pages":"1006-1009"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/its2.136","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72162087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this research was to assess the effects of irrigation management and St. Augustinegrass [<i>Stenotaphrum secundatum</i> (Walter) Kuntze] genotype on turf quality (TQ). The field study conducted in Citra, FL, was a split-plot design with the main plot (irrigation) arranged in blocks. Calendar-based irrigation treatments were soil sensor-based, 8X, 4X, 2X, and 1X per month (MO) and none. St. Augustinegrass genotypes included three commercial cultivars and eight experimental entries. Turfgrass quality varied with time, genotype, and irrigation. Sensor-based and 8XMO irrigation produced the highest TQ values, ranging from 5 to 7 for all cultivars, but sensor-based irrigation used less water overall. Turf quality declined with 2XMO and more restrictive irrigation frequencies, with TQ values ranging from 2 to 4. Several recently developed breeding lines performed better across all the irrigation treatments than current commercial cultivars. To satisfy both municipal watering restrictions and turfgrass health requirements, sensor-based irrigation coupled with the use of improved breeding lines and cultivars such as DALSA 1618 or FSA1602 (CitraBlue^®) offer the potential to maintain quality turfgrass while substantially reducing residential irrigation use.</p>","PeriodicalId":100722,"journal":{"name":"International Turfgrass Society Research Journal","volume":"14 1","pages":"683-693"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/its2.134","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72140723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
