ABSTRACT

Availability of adequate quantity of good-quality irrigation water is the number one issue confronting the turfgrass industry in the 21st century. Efficient water use requires that all water users adopt best management practices (BMPs) for water conservation, and one of the key strategies for water conservation on turfgrass sites is use of nonpotable or alternative irrigation water sources (Carrow et al., 2005a,b,c); thus, water quantity and quality are inextricably linked.
