The Tiger Woods Dubai has said that 50 per cent of construction work on the fresh water lakes are complete. The golf course has more than 3.3 million square foot of purified, fresh water lakes.
The lakes form the central component of The Tiger Woods Dubai's water features and irrigation system.
The water utilised on the development is sourced from treated sewage effluent (TSE) water and waste water produced on site, which then undergoes an extensive refining process via reverse osmosis (RO) to create a clean water source for the lakes and irrigation system.
Aqua Agronomic Solutions Incorporated (AASI), a United States-based irrigation systems designer is responsible for designing and building the system.
AASi has been instrumental in designing the water features at eight of the 10 top-ranked courses within the United States.
Abdulla Al Gurg, Executive Director, The Tiger Woods Dubai, said: "We are proud to share this important milestone. The lakes and irrigation system are an important detail in ensuring that the playing experience at Al Ruwaya Golf Club is unmatched, and the overall environment of The Tiger Woods Dubai is one of lushness and tranquility."
The lakes will serve more than just an aesthetic role on the development. The purified water that is fed into each of the three major lake systems will be channelled through a series of streams, until finally being drawn out for use as irrigation water for the golf course and surrounding landscaping.
All of the lakes are fully equalized and lined to prevent any seepage or escape of water. Additionally, harvested rain water at the site and storm water caught by the golf course's drainage system will be fed into the lakes, ensuring maximum efficiency of the irrigation system for the development.
