STRIVING FOR ULTIMATE WATER EFFICIENCY
Future-proof your irrigation against climate change
Achieving ultimate water efficiency isn’t just about saving money, it’s about keeping the golf and sports industries sustainable and ensuring their longevity.
The summer of 2022 saw temperatures reaching close to 40 degrees and parts of the UK even experiencing wildfires. With golf courses often exempt from hosepipe bans during increasing drought conditions, it’s imperative that clubs throughout the UK are known for being socially responsible in terms of their water management and irrigation, especially at a time when we can no longer rely on the weather to irrigate our landscapes.

Continuous temperature rises over the decades
