South Australia hands control of the Murray to the Federal Government

So both South Australia and New South Wales have handed control of the River Murray to the Federal Government.

Interesting to note that Queensland and Victoria are still debating the legislation.

So still Rome Burns while Victoria and Queensland fiddle.

800 Billion Litres of Water

Irrigation modernisation in Northern Victoria scheduled to start in Winter this year will recover 800 billion litres of water a year. If each of the irrigation zones actually took this on how many Billion Litres of waste could be recovered. If we do not stop stupid wastage first how will any scheme work. Surely these programs should be accelerated across the entire Murray Darling Basin.
