IRRIGATORS USING LESS WATER THAN ALLOCATED

It’s a popular sentiment that irrigators use way too much water – but not so, according to the Murray Darling Basin Authority.

Its latest report reveals they’re not even using all the water allocated to them, coming in 17 percent below the sustainable limit between 2019 and 2020.

Irrigators using the Gwydir and Border rivers are among those praised for conserving the most water.
