“…Municipal turfgrass areas also serve as disposal sites for municipal waste. For example, effluent wastewater is used as an effective alternative to potable water to maintain turfgrass (Alshammary & Qian, 2008;Hayes, Mancino, & Pepper, 1990;Hyde, 1937;Mancino and Pepper, 1992;Miyamoto and Chacon, 2004;Riper and Geselbracht, 2020;Wang et al, 2014). Several cities actively promote mulching tree leaves and redistributing leaf mulch as a soil amendment that improves turfgrass health (City of Irving, 2020; City of Madison, 2020; City of Raleigh, 2020; Kowalewski et al, 2010).…”

These waste products offer low-cost irrigation and fertilizer alternatives that are readily available to public municipalities (Heckman & Kluchinski, 1996;Riper and Geselbracht, 2020).…”

“…Proximity to greenspace and connection with nature provides a sense of tranquility (Frumkin, 2001) and has been associated with reducing stress and symptoms of depression (Barrett et al., 2014; Beyer et al., 2014), conditions likely to rise in response to COVID‐19 (Gao et al., 2020). Increased participation in outdoor activities has been documented in the COVID‐19 era (Venter et al., 2020), in part because exposure risks are lower outdoors (Ratnesar‐Shumate et al., 2020). Turfgrasses also provide a sense of communal space for neighborhood gatherings and community events, which helps improve social ties, community pride, and overall quality of life (Hartig, Mitchell, de Vries, & Frumkin, 2014).…”

A novel coronavirus, termed COVID-19, spread worldwide and become a global pandemic in 2020. Forecasts show that COVID-19 will cause substantial economic contraction affecting almost every industry. Managed turfgrass, particularly in urban settings, has many positive societal and environmental benefits. In a contracted economy, will resources be available to manage turfgrass to achieve these benefits? In this paper, we outline the benefits of managed turfgrass on golf courses, playing fields, recreational parks, and urban landscapes to assist decision makers with resource allocation in the COVID-19 era.

“…In water limited countries and regions, it is a proved practice to reuse municipal wastewater as industrial, agricultural, residential and ecological water source (Asano and Levine 1996;Friedler 2001;Al-Rashed and Sherif 2000;Ogoshi 2001;USEPA 2004;Angelakis and Bontoux 2001;Riper and Geselbracht 1999;Eusuff and Lansey 2004) with sufficient risk control (Ganoulis and Papalopoulou 1996;Liu and Mattiasson 2002;Wilderer et al 2002), acceptable costs (Mujeriego andAsano 1999;Lazarova et al 1999;OECD 1999a, b;Fadlelmawla and Al-Otaibi 2005), and increasing public participation (USEPA 2004;Riper and Geselbracht 1999;Wegner-Guidt 1991). China has also realized the importance of urban wastewater reuse as a type of unconventional source water (Zhou 2001;Zhang and Qian 1991).…”

It has been widely recognized that urban wastewater reuse is an alternative for water shortage problem. Although the improvement on urban wastewater reuse in China is quite significant, the further development still requires more strategic regulating and directing at the national level. However, due to the huge spatial differences in socialeconomic and resource conditions among different areas in China, it is difficult to apply a same policy framework to the whole country. In the paper, the mainland of China has been divided into 342 research regions and each region has one large-scale or medium-scale central city. The paper tried to answer the question how to select the development pattern of urban wastewater reuse for each region. Firstly, in order to evaluate the necessity and regional economic feasibility to develop urban wastewater reuse, an indicator system with three indexes at the upper level and seven indicators at the lower level was build up. And valuing method and the weight for each indicator was given. All the research regions covering the mainland of China has been scored with the indicator system. Secondly, the national strategic zoning has been done with the key method of cluster analysis. All regions have been sorted into five types of strategic development zones. Each zone has its own wastewater reuse development option such as Preferential Imperative Development, State Supporting Development, Self Supporting Development, Waiting for Development, and Non-Mandatory Development. Thirdly, the corresponding policy suggestion for each zone was given to the government. The possible updates between the different development patterns have been discussed as well.
