Hockey turfs have a carpet-like surface. By wetting the fields there is less chance of carpet burns or nasty scrapes occurring when skin scrapes the surface (such as when a player falls or scrapes knuckles).

Field hockey playing surfaces vary depending on the level of play.

The majority of games are played on grass or on synthetic turf surfaces, depending on who is running the game and the availabaility of the surfaces. Most stronger countries in the sport have turfs enough for everyone to use, while those who are not as strong, see the sport as a minor one only or who cannot normally afford a lot of them use grass or sometimes packed dirt surfaces.

Most grades of field hockey above the junior-school level play on artificial surfaces like astroturf; for most national and international games, it is actually required that the surface be one of these turfs.

Hockey turfs are wet due to their carpet-like surface. By wetting the fields there is less chance of carpet burns or nasty scrapes occurring when skin scrapes the surface (such as when a player falls or scrapes knuckles).

If there is too much water on a hockey field the ball will be slowed down. Therefore there needs to be enough water to reduce injury and not so much water that there are puddles and game play is affected.

An infill is used on an artificial hockey turf to help keep the pile upright and decrease wear and tear on the carpet. Water is used as an infill at national and international levels, as it allows more consistancy in ball roll and bounce, free movement of the pile, and more shock absorbance and less abrasiveness than earlier sand-based turfs. Sand-based or hybrid turfs are still used at local and regional levels because water-baesd turfs are more expensive to install and maintain.
London 2012 will be the first world event to be played on a different coloured synthetic turf to the traditional green.

The water-based surface uses a high-performance polyethylene resin helping to make it the world's fastest pitch.

There "appears" to be a spray because in fact there is a spray. All games at the Beijing Olympics hockey tournament were played on the wet base artificial turf specially laid for the tournament. These turfs are covered with a small amount of water before (and somtimes redone at halftime of) each game, in order to help lessen the effect of injury on it and alow the ball to move quicker than if the turf was dry.

India has lost its strength in recent years because most modern hockey is played on artificial turf, and India does not have as many turfs per person as other countries in the top twenty; instead it is played on grass or dirt fields. This presents them with a disadvantage as they are not accustomed to either the speed of an artificial turf or the smoothness of the bounce. ---- India has never been an ice-hockey nation because it was never cold enough there for players to use natural ice. Like most of the world, India as a country grew up basically not caring about it and so very little if any effort has been put into it compared to games like cricket, football and field hockey.
