Irrigation efficiency; a 47% reduction in water use without compromising turf quality

Andrew Abbott Course Superintendent Murray Downs Golf Club Victoria, Australia.

“We have found the monitoring system to be very simple, hassle free and easy to use.

We have used the data mostly to monitor moisture in the growing region and then only water as needed and with how much.
Main advantages is water savings and Bowling Greens with consistent moisture content from one week to the next (excluding rain following irrigation). This allows us to maintain a bowls surface with a more controlled green speed.
Future sites would be golf greens. Every green would be good but unrealistic at this point. Maybe 2-4greens.“
