PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

DOING MORE WITH LESS
oted water conservation expert, Amy Vickers, author of Water Use & Conservation, defines water efficiency as: “Minimization of the amount of water used to accomplish a function, task or result.” In other words, doing more with less water. As sports field managers, we know what it means to do more with less – we do it every day. And if the predictions hold true, we also know what the future of water use holds. All of us must prioritize sustainable water management to protect our industry’s (not to mention our planet’s) most valuable resource: water. To that end, NESTMA will keep the issue of water conservation and efficiency front and center through online learning, hands on demonstrations, member polls, this publication and more. We kick things off with the introduction of a column highlighting
water management. Kyle McNerney offers expert advice on irrigation systems and water efficiencies. Thanks, Kyle! We want to hear from you. What irrigation technology have you introduced to help realize water savings? How are you managing wasteful runoff of at your facility? What future water use regulations are you addressing today? Stay safe. Stay involved. Stay in touch!
