Irrigators in the Murray-Darling Basin have demonstrated a significant capacity to adapt to low water availability conditions, delegates at the ABARE Outlook conference heard in Canberra today. Mr Mues discussed three key aspects of the initiative including water market reforms, government investment in water use efficiency and the environmental water buyback program. ‘With the approach of the new Basin Plan, irrigators and regional communities are starting to prepare for a future with less water, the Government is rolling out Water for the Future to smooth the path to this new future,’ Mr Mues said.
