| Abstract/Contents: | Describes Plum Brook Golf Club's drainage issues with a specific part of their third fairway which was consistently saturated in standing water. Details their trial use of the Energy-Passive Groundwater Recharge Pump (EGRP), "a new non-electric pumping system [which] harnesses the earth's pressure to tackle drainage problems." Explains that "the pumps pull in the excess groundwater and push it down, back into the natural water table." Notes that the EGRP was originally developed as a residential basement drainage system, and can also be used to recharge the natural groundwater for a city's water supply. |
