As water issues become increasingly important, it's more necessary then ever to develop a plan for successful water conservation. This seminar, which focuses on developing a BMP approach that is holistic, flexible and science-based, is designed for:
- Superintendents interested in developing a customized plan for their golf courses.
- Superintendents at the exploratory stage wanting to gain insight for potential future action.
- Association representatives interested in fostering BMP approach within you state regulatory agencies.
Completion of the W.A.T.E.R. for Efficient Water Management, is not a prerequisite for the seminar, but is highly recommended.
