CAFS is made up of 60 (15 feet by 30 feet) miniature
athletic fields.
30 of these fields are synthetic
30 of these fields are synthetic and 30 of the fields are natural turfgrass fields.
There are five different rootzones under the natural turfgrass plots consisting of: USGA spec sand, ASTM athletic field sand spec rootzone mixture, native soil with a four inch sand cap, native soil topdressed with sand over time, and native soil rootzone. There are two natural turfgrasses (Kentucky bluegrass and bermudagrass) used in combination with each of these five rootzones. The goal of all of these combinations of fields is to be able to collect data from several different types of athletic fields used. Each of these fields has it's own irrigation and all of the leechate can be collected from each field.
