As access to drinking water and groundwater will be increasingly restricted in the future, it is crucial to analyse water requirements precisely and plan accordingly to ensure the long-term high quality of a system.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>collecting of water<\/strong> during heavy rainfall events is a very useful way of increasing your own water capacities. Particularly in periods when little water is used, when little water evaporates and high levels of precipitation fall - e.g. in the autumn\/winter months - a lot of positive results can be achieved.  By optimising the design of the course and creating additional reservoirs, excess water can be optimally \"channelled\" through the golf course and additional areas relevant to the game can be protected. Water from paved areas (e.g. car parks, roofs, paths, etc.) can also make a contribution.<\/p>\n<p>The golf course as <strong>\"Sponge\"<\/strong>, which optimises water absorption in the soil by deliberately creating flood zones can counteract damage caused by extreme weather.<\/p>\n<p>The optimisation and adaptation of the golf course design through a <strong>reduction of play and turf areas<\/strong> - which can also directly reduce the irrigation area - thus bringing many advantages.<\/p>\n<p>The use of new grass species also changes the <strong>optimal usage <\/strong>and<strong> distribution<\/strong> of water on the course.<\/p>\n<p>An <strong>ecological design<\/strong> and integration of new storage ponds into the golf course must be professionally planned and monitored in order to have a lasting positive impact.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attractive integration of storage ponds into the golf course and the landscape with a positive influence on the game of

design of golf courses to meet these new greenkeeping challenges is required. Natural appearances on golf courses are increasingly becoming the order of the day and encouraging more robust grass varieties is important. The selection of shrubs, trees and grasses must also be geared towards increasingly frequent periods of drought and heat. At the same time, drainage systems must be planned in such a way that heavy rain and storms do not lead to prolonged downtime of parts of the golf course.<\/p>\n<p>The removal of so-called \"no-play areas\", which are provided with natural vegetation or left to their own devices, creates areas with zero consumption of fertilisers and pesticides.<\/p>\n<p>The following examples show how areas that are not involved in golf can be used to reduce maintenance, labour costs and fertilisers while at the same time increasing biodiversity and natural appearance.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
