Though the City of Calgary plans to open up two of its public golf courses this week, officials say potential water restrictions are top of mind as the risk of drought conditions persists.
McCall Lake will open its 18-hole course and driving range on Friday, while Maple Ridge will also open its 18-hole-course on the same day, depending on the weather.
Faber notes that a lot of water technology, including the use of soil meters, is used to help determine how much water can be applied. "We're going to manage that water for pesticide and chemical applications, even just playing conditions. You don't want it too wet, on your greens you want at a certain level kind of for growth and those types of things, you’re definitely not just putting out as much water as possible. There's a science to it, and less water is actually better."
Natural river flows remain low and reservoir storage in the Bow watersheds upstream from Calgary are average for this time of year, thanks to the investment of higher gates at the Glenmore Reservoir on the Elbow River. Currently, locations in the city that are not considered water manage sites must limit their watering to two hours per week if there are restrictions in place.
"We use technologies such as the Hunter Hydrawise timer that adjust runtimes depending on the time of year, so if it's really cool, it'll decrease the runtimes, but if it's really warm out, it'll increase runtimes," he said.
