EVALUATION AND COMPARISON OF REUSE WATER AS APPLIED TO GOLF COURSE GREENS IN THE PIEDMONT REGION OF NORTH CAROLINA

摘要

The City of Raleigh developed a Reclaimed Water Master Plan in January of 2007. There had been several iterations of a master plan prior to 2007 however the atmosphere surrounding reclaimed water in North Carolina was changing rapidly. In 2006 the piedmont region of North Carolina along with much of the Southeast began to experience a drought. By 2007 and into 2008 this drought reached severe status and water resources became scarce. The City of Raleigh imposed water restrictions which became more stringent the longer the drought lasted. At this time it was decided to move forward with the reclaimed water system.
