Optimising irrigation through soil moisture monitoring

Abama Golf

Spain

As part of its commitment to efficient water management, Abama Golf has installed soil moisture sensors across key playing areas of the course. These devices provide real-time data on soil conditions, enabling the greenkeeping team to make informed irrigation decisions based on actual turf requirements.

By monitoring moisture levels directly within the root zone, irrigation can be targeted more precisely, reducing unnecessary water use while maintaining excellent playing conditions. The technology has improved understanding of how water needs vary across the course and supports more efficient irrigation scheduling.

The initiative forms part of Abama Golf’s wider water conservation strategy, combining technological innovation, continuous monitoring, and sustainable turf management to enhance resource efficiency. In a region where water is a scarce and valuable resource, soil moisture monitoring plays an important role in ensuring responsible water use while safeguarding the long-term health and quality of the course.
