Protocol
- Pond water - Dauphine PRO connected to garden hose
- High temperatures and fairly dry green before watering
- Watering the green (LM water and TEMOIN water): a sample is taken after watering
Observation
- Visually, LM water seems to stay on the surface of the green less.
- With LM water, the soil is moist up to 3-4 cm
- TEMOIN water moistens the soil down to 1-2 cm

Conclusion
LM water penetrates the green's felt better and goes deeper: watering the green is more efficient.
