| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses water regulations in San Antonio, Texas, developed by the San Antonio Water System in response to a 2001 drought. Explains that "in developing the...[water] conservation ordinance, the water system received input from numerous groups, including turfgrass producers and landscape and irrigation firms. The resulting ordinance, passed in 2005, has the potential for the city to save 1.3 billion gallons each year or 3 gallons per person per day." States that "the ordinance has added a provision limiting the turfgrass cultivars used in new construction of homes or businesses...To determine which cultivars would be recommended for the South Texas city, the San Antonio Water System worked with Turfgrass Producers of Texas, The Rio Grande Basin Initiative and researches from Texas A&M." Mentions that "the researchers evaluated 25 turfgrass cultivars for drought resistance." Reports that "none of the grasses survived drought conditions when they were planted in 4-inch deep soil, but all of them survived in native soil 18 inches or deeper....As a result of this trial, the city approved more than half of the cultivars tested for use by residential and commercial builders of new construction." Concludes that "future research could include testing the cultivars at various soil depths and under varying irrigation protocols and shade conditions." |
