Artificial Soccer Pitches Are Growing Popular

So how much water can be saved by simply replacing a natural grass playing field with artificial turf? According to some sources the figure stands at around 20,000 liters per day. In the UK the move to synthetic turf pitches has accelerated and one of the main contributors to doing so is because of the expense of watering a top quality soccer pitch. The synthetic grass cost is easily made back at the larger stadiums because there is no longer a need for watering in the quantities previously required, under-pitch heating to prevent freezing isn’t necessary and special lighting to help with grass growth is dispensed with. Preparing a pristine soccer pitch in the depths of an English winter is a tough proposition and installing artificial turf answers a lot of problems.
