Injection Of Hydrogel Into Turf To Reduce Water Consumption For Turf Irrigation
3 PagesPage 1 CASE STUDY RESULTS FOR PILOT AT CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY NORTHRIDGE OPPORTUNITY 55% TECHNOLOGY Hydrogels were developed as an environmentally-friendly, relatively low-cost technology to increase the water retention capacity of soil, and reduce irrigation demands by creating a sub-surface water storage system. The hydrogel retiains the water normally lost in evaporation and drainage, while providing plants with access to a source of moisture when the soil becomes dry. This helps maintin consistent moisture levels, even between irrigation cycles. JANUARY 2018.
