DRIVE THE NEW EARTHWAY ®
We will be required to abstract our water in times of high flow - namely the winter months - and retain it on site
against the need for water for the general public. We will be required to
abstract our water in times of high flow - namely the winter months - and retain it on site. Of this I am convinced, having listened to the views of Environment Agency officials. It was also evident, during the last drought here in the southeast, that we are up against some increased restrictions when dealing with water authorities, namely your local water boards with their interpretation of historical rights of a bygone era at a golf club. All future abstraction licences
will become time limited. Make no mistake, this is to put in place controls and restrictions into the future. At the very least, the water authorities will demand a continual renewal process that will have a knock- on affect against all that we currently enjoy at the moment. This may involve changes to your current working practices and water management systems, to comply with good stewardship issues. We will be expected to have
invested wisely into sensible water harvesting systems and infrastructure and, going forward, have sensible recovery

and recycling processes in place. It would not be unrealistic to
forecast the use of recycled effluent water use for golf course irrigation, which is already commonplace in highly populated areas around the world. Usually, it is blended with the potable mains supply should this be the only means of supply at the golf club. Let’s hope this is some way off, as it can bring with it as many problems as it is hoped to resolve. Retention from winter
abstraction will become the staple of the future. Water holding capacity on site will become, in many cases, a necessary requirement. Additional storage, from tanks to lakes to the more imaginative underground storage systems, will have to be explored if we are to meet with our future needs.
So how would a plan start? Well, it would take a leap of faith and start the process of engagement. Speaking with and taking on board the views of your current supplier would be a great place to start. If you currently abstract from
a river or a borehole, it would be the Environment Agency that you should approach to discuss
