Optimal irrigation is a key factor in keeping a golf course in pristine condition. A professionally designed and installed irrigation system ensures that all areas of the course are supplied with water efficiently and as needed.
Important factors in planning
When planning a customized irrigation system, several factors must be considered:
-
Size of the golf course area: The overall size, but also the division into different areas such as tees, fairways, greens, roughs, etc. determine the number and positioning of the irrigation elements.
-
Soil condition: The soil's water permeability and water-holding capacity influence how much and how often watering is needed. Sandy soils require more frequent, lighter watering than clay soils.
-
Available water quantity: The site's water supply limits the options. Cisterns, ponds, and wells can help meet demand.
-
Topography: On hilly areas, elevation profiles and slope gradients must be taken into account when laying the cables.
-
Intensity of use: Highly frequented areas such as greens require more intensive watering than areas that are rarely used.
Choice of irrigation systems
These factors can be used to determine which irrigation systems are most suitable:
-
Stationary systems: Permanently installed pipe networks with sprinklers or subsurface irrigation are suitable for regular irrigation of large areas.
-
Mobile systems: Portable sprinklers can be used flexibly wherever they are needed. Ideal for supplementing stationary systems.
-
Special systems for greens: Highly used greens require their own irrigation infrastructure such as subsurface irrigation.
The right combination makes needs-based irrigation possible. Modern systems allow for controllable watering by zone.
Professional installation of stationary systems
During installation, precise laying and positioning of the pipes and irrigation elements is important:
-
The pipeline network is usually laid underground. The pipes should be frost-free and protected.
-
Valves and nozzles must be positioned so that the desired areas are optimally covered. Digital valves enable precise zone control.
-
The Connection to the water and electricity network must meet the technical requirements. Shut-off valves facilitate maintenance and repair.
-
At the Commissioning The functionality and leak-tightness of the system are checked. The irrigation computers are programmed.
Proper installation is the basic prerequisite for smooth and efficient irrigation.
Intelligent control and automation
Modern control systems make the irrigation system smart:
-
Irrigation computer enable the programming of regular irrigation cycles and selective activation.
-
Weather stations and Soil moisture sensors automatically adjust irrigation to the weather and soil conditions.
-
With Smartphone apps Many systems can be accessed remotely remotely control and monitor . This allows the greenkeeper to intervene even when the player is absent.
Intelligent control systems optimize water consumption and keep the golf course in top shape.
