GBRA proudly recognizes Fix a Leak Week, but our commitment to water conservation extends far beyond just one week! Proactively finding and repairing leaks, whether indoors or outdoors, is crucial in saving valuable water and money year-round. Did you know that the average household's leaks can waste nearly 10,000 gallons of water every year? From dripping faucets to running toilets and hidden leaks in irrigation systems, every drop counts. At GBRA, we're on a mission to make a substantial impact on water conservation. Let's work together to protect our water resources by detecting and addressing leaks, not just during Fix a Leak Week, but every week.  . . . #GuadSquad #FixALeakWeek  #WaterConservation

One of the primary contributors to compaction on your course is WATER. Compaction is often a hidden issue as it impacts the soil beneath the surface, negatively affecting its physical properties and hindering turf grass growth. How many aeration cycles are required each season to address this issue? Some courses perform as many as 10 or more cycles, which can be both costly and time-consuming. It's essential to facilitate gas exchange and ensure water penetrates well beyond the thatch level into the proper root zone. During the summer heat and play stress, efforts are made to maintain firm greens. However, by September, signs of wear and tear become apparent. If effluent or heavily mineralized water must be used, infiltrating the soil becomes even more challenging. 💦 RainMaker technology has demonstrated its ability to alleviate compaction by naturally aerating the soil profile, resulting in significantly improved infiltration rates. Let us demonstrate how we can modify the viscosity of your irrigation water, allowing you to get your course back on track faster, even after a significant rainfall event. 🤙 Let's chat  Ryan Lambe Chris Hunt Riaan Kirsten #MakingEveryDropCount #watersavings #watereffeciency #compaction #soilhealth #golfcourse #golfcoursemanagement

What Are the Uses Of Collected Rainwater? You can essentially use rainwater anywhere you use tap water. The idea of using drinking water to flush our toilets and water our lawns is wasteful and irresponsible, especially considering population growth and water shortages across the country. Rainwater collection is a technique to green your home and to lessen your environmental footprint. There are basically three areas where rainwater can be used: ·        Irrigation use ·        Indoor, non-potable use ·        Whole house, potable use Contact the Tank Doctor to help keep your outdoor water tanks clean. We clean outdoor water tanks with a process that uses minimal water. We offer a professional outdoor water tank cleaning service that removes sludge from your water tank floor.

💧Water is Precious, Let's Use It Wisely! 💧 As one of the most expensive resources in the U.S., it's shocking how much water gets wasted due to inefficient irrigation systems and poor landscape management. 👉 Did you know? According to a 2014 Government Accountability Report, 40 out of 50 state water managers expected water shortages throughout 2014-2024. Over the past few years, drought conditions have persisted across many U.S. states, making water shortages a growing concern. In this climate, stewarding our most precious resource is more important than ever. Unfortunately, up to 50% of outdoor water is lost to wind, evaporation, and runoff from outdated systems—thousands of gallons wasted every year! At Hines, we're not just irrigation designers—we’re resource management consultants committed to optimizing water use. We help developers and property owners implement smarter, more efficient systems that protect both the environment and your budget. Let’s work together to reduce waste, conserve resources, and protect your investment. 💧 https://lnkd.in/dQkTwFPW #WaterFirst
