First, the origin and development of golf in China
The prototype of the golf course is the alpine pasture in Scotland, England. It is rugged and barren, but it is rich in grass. Pastors amused themselves by hitting stones with sheep sticks, which later developed into sports activities. Because it is located in a humid temperate maritime climate, with thousands of millimeters of precipitation and dense fog every year, the grass here is still lush regardless of people stepping on livestock, so there is no need for any chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
The golf industry in China is a new industry gradually developed with the development of sports industry and economic growth. 68.3% of the golf courses in China are built directly around the reservoir. Even if it is not around the reservoir, there are many artificial ponds in the golf course as obstacle areas, reservoirs and landscaping. Water consumption and water pollution in and around a large number of newly-built golf courses have become a problem that cannot be ignored.
Second, the status quo of golf course water pollution
Golf courses not only consume an amazing amount of water, but also pollute heavily. In order to maintain the artificial ocean lawn of golf course and keep it flat and even, operators have to spray and apply a lot of pesticides, disinfectants and fertilizers, such as carbendazim, carbofuran, dicamba, chlorothalonil and early frost.
There are more than 50 kinds of toxic and harmful chemicals, which not only make the soil of the stadium toxic, but also seep into the ground or flow into the river with the water after watering or rainfall. This polluted water is likely to be used to grow crops, vegetables, fruits or feed for livestock and poultry, and it may also be merged into the underground water source for our drinking. In short, it is very likely to enter our bodies in the end. Wild animals such as birds eat poisonous plants or fish, shrimp and insects, which may lead to premature death of their offspring. Because these toxins are gradually accumulated and released, the dispersion period is very long, which can be said to be endless.
Three. Causes of water pollution inside and outside golf courses
1, water, pesticides, fertilizers and their packaging, grass clippings; 2. Machine maintenance: waste oil and cleaning wastewater; 3. Club Hotel: Domestic sewage; 4. The influence of stadium drainage; 5. The pollutants in the supplementary water introduced outside the stadium exceed the standard.
These factors will lead to the pollution of lakes, ponds and groundwater in the stadium, and drainage or water leakage in the stadium will cause the pollution of surrounding water bodies.
