| Abstract/Contents: | "The objective of this research is to compare the nutrient loading, by way of surface water runoff from a new golf course (Colbert Hills Golf Course), and the site's previous native prairie condition. The nutrient loading from the golf course site into the main surface water stream (Little Kitten Creek) will be determined during construction and during operation. Surface water samples are being collected during runoff events from at three locations on Little Kitten Creek. Currently, automated samplers are installed where Little Kitten enters the golf course property, where a small tributary enters the property and where Little Kitten Creek exits the property. About 300 water samples have been collected since February. Water samples will be tested for nutrient concentrations and other physical and chemical parameters. Surface water runoff amounts will be determined so those mass amounts of nutrients contained in the runoff can be calculated. Kansas State University in cooperation with Jim Colbert, PGA TOUR, GCSAA, and various alumni are building Colbert Hills Golf Course, a 27-hole championship course, near Manhattan, Kansas. Colbert Hills is being built on land that has a prairie-woodland mix that is typical of the Flint Hills Region. The only previous land use was occasional grazing for beef cattle. Data on water quality from the nearby Konza Prairie research area (NSF Long-Term Ecological Site and USGS Benchmark site) has been collected for close to 20 years and comparisons in water quality from Colbert Hills and the Konza Prairie will be made." |
