Tips to keep your grounds in play

Routing Inspections:   Address any issues promptly, such as repairing damaged drainage pipes, regarding uneven surfaces, and clearing debris from drainage outlets.

Weather Monitoring:   Implement a weather monitoring system to track rainfall and potential flood events.   Use this information to make informed decisions about field usage and to implement preventive measures ahead of severe weather.

Emergency Preparedness:  Develop an emergency action plan that includes procedures for dealing with flood events.

Community Collaboration:  Work with local authorities, environmental agencies, and neighboring properties to implement coordinated flood prevention measures.

Education and Communication:  Educate sports facility users, staff, and stakeholders about the importance of proper field use during adverse weather conditions and clearly communicate guidelines for avoiding damage to the sports green.

By implementing a combination of these preventive measures, sports facilities can significantly reduce the risk and impact of flood damage on their greens, ensuring a more resilient and sustainable playing surface. Consulting with experts in sports field management and environmental engineering can provide valuable insights tailored to the specific needs of your facility.
