To conserve the water that comes from an unusually heavy amount of rain would require more retention ponds to be built. That may seem like a good thing until you realize that during normal rainfall these ponds would be dry or worse yet, just mosquito breading marshes. By distributing this water around the golf courses we are effectively mimicking nature by allowing the rainfall to seep back into the aquifers for potable water use - so it's really not being wasted, rather recycled for its primary function.
