requirements, both in terms of quality and<br />
quantity of water. Therefore, a multiple,<br />
staged approach may be needed,<br />
incorporating a variety of components to<br />
achieve the benchmark design standards.<br />
In short, there is not one size that fits<br />
all, and a thorough understanding of the<br />
site, the environmental sensitivities of the<br />
wider area and, of course, the cost<br />
implications will all influence the final<br />
design solution.<br />
What are the benefits?<br />
At a time when golf is trying to foster a<br />
greener, environmentally responsible<br />
image, sustainable drainage provides a<br />
concept that sits comfortably alongside<br />
t<strong>his</strong> ideal. In addition to environmental<br />
protection, there are real benefits which<br />
can be achieved through creation of<br />
habitat and boosting biodiversity and<br />
ecology. Ponds and wetlands enhance the<br />
landscape and can be integrated<br />
successfully on the golf course as playing<br />
features - preferably with a steer from a<br />
recognised golf course architect to ensure<br />
that they contribute positively rather than<br />
ensnaring the unwary.<br />
Rainwater harvesting<br />
Collecting water from drainage systems in<br />
catchment areas has a double benefit as it<br />
serves to store water for attenuation, as<br />
well as providing a valuable source of<br />
water for irrigation. Decent above ground<br />
reservoirs need room and they do not<br />
come cheap (with lining usually essential<br />
to prevent losses of water). However, at a<br />
time of over-stretched water resources, a<br />
degree of complete self-sufficiency in<br />
irrigation water sourcing can be a very<br />
attractive proposition.<br />
What are the costs?<br />
The financial costs will vary considerably<br />
depending on the complexity of the<br />
scheme and standards required.<br />
