Throughout the United States, many state and local governments place restrictions on the use of potable water for irrigating turfgrass landscapes. For many golf course superintendents, use of reclaimed, or other secondary water sources is the now the norm. Unfortunately, much of the recycled water used for irrigation contains high concentrations of dissolved salts that are potentially toxic to turfgrasses. More importantly, the use of effluent or reclaimed water sources often precedes the loss of soil structure resulting from the effects of high levels of sodium, bicarbonate and carbonate salts.
