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