Cyclic Irrigation of Turfgrass Using a Shallow Saline Aquifer

Abstract: water as a supplemental irrigation source on landscapes would free up potable water for higher priority uses, A 2-yr cyclic irrigation study using shallow saline groundwater lower water tables in contact with structural foundawas conducted on a sports field in southern Nevada [bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L. 'Tifway') overseeded with perennial ryegrass tions, reduce the potential of contaminating the primary (Lolium perenne L. 'Champion')]. Shallow groundwater with a salinity aquifer, and reduce the flow of … Show more

“…To meet emerging demands for water in the U. S. southwest, desalinization brackish water can be considered as an option. Responsible utilization of this resource through addition of leaching fraction, blending with potable water, sub-surface drip irrigation, or alternating sources of irrigation water have been suggested as strategies to manage salinity accumulation in landscapes [123][124][125]. Depending on treatment, wastewater can contain significant amounts of nutrients, including N, phosphorus (P), and potassium (K).…”

“…The ability to utilize low-quality water for turfgrass irrigation has been evaluated by several researchers, particularly upon natural soil or sand-based artificial substrates [23][24][25]. However, it is worth considering that green roofs offer a more suitable environment for saline water irrigation.…”

“…The use of poor quality water for turfgrass irrigation has been reported to be successful by several researchers [16][17][18][19]. Saline irrigation water sources include saline groundwater, which may either be naturally saline or a result of salt leaching or due to seawater intrusion into the aquifer, brackish surface water, saline sewage effluent, and reclaimed or recycled water [20].…”
