Moisture- finally.... 2011 Water Use

This past Saturday and the following Monday we received some much needed natural irrigation.  The rain total of .71 inches for the two separate events is the first moisture seen in the month of January.  It has been over 30 days since the last measurable precipitation event in early December.  2011 Rainfall totals are lower than the average for the region and our window for "winter/spring" rain is diminishing by the week.

On a positive note, our extraction/water usage total for the year of 2011 was 385 acre foot on 90.2 acres of turfgrass.  That is a decrease of 11 acre foot of water from the previous year and continues the trend of water savings by Greenway Golf at Arrowhead Country Club.
