Turfgrass and Landscape Irrigation Water Quality: Assessment and Management

By Ronny R. Duncan, Robert N. Carrow, Michael T. Huck

With the increased use of alternative irrigation water sources on turfgrass and landscape sites, their management is becoming more complex and whole ecosystems-oriented. This book provides a comprehensive, science-based understanding of irrigation water quality. The text confronts each challenge associated with various water sources over the whole spectrum, from initial source to delivery system. Various management practices address specific types of problems that may affect turfgrass performance. Additional chapters examine potential environmental concerns related to the use of variable quality irrigation sources on landscapes and recreational turfgrass areas from the landscape to the watershed levels.
