USGA Summary Points:The Ksat of rootzones at the 0- to 76-mm depth (without mat layer) has not changed in finer sand mixes while a higher Ksat has been observed in coarser sand mixes over time. Field water infiltration rates were considerably lower than what might be anticipated based on Ksat values, and sand size had a significant effect on infiltration with coarser sand mixes having higher infiltration rates than finer sand mixes. The biomass accumulation layer (mat above the sand-based root zone of a putting green will have a greater influence on surface water retention and infiltration over time than the physical properties of the rootzone below.
