Water efficiency

Did you know that reducing mains water and abstraction permit use and associated waste water discharged into mains sewers can significantly reduce your club’s sewerage charges and energy costs? Every drop of water used around the golf course costs money and therefore water efficiency, conservation and energy saving measures could have a big impact on your club’s daily operations, water security and finances.

This class offers practical advice on developing a water efficiency action plan to help you make every drop count.

Learning outcomes:

• Recognise threats from not undertaking water efficiency and energy saving measures
• Identify areas around a golf course and clubhouse that would benefit from the development of a water efficiency and conservation action plan
• Carry out a practical ‘light touch’ water efficiency audit
• How failure to undertake regular efficiency checks can affect a club’s water security resilience
• Develop a smart golf club water efficiency action plan
• Explain how a good action plan underpins your club’s day-to-day operation and growth
