Southern Murray-Darling calls for independent review to show economic and social damage of Basin Plan

Irrigators on the Wakool River, in the
southern Murray-Darling Basin, want an
 independent review into social and
economic impacts of the Basin Plan in'
their region.

Turn the topic to water and most any public country gathering will immediately be enlivened.

Much has been said about water, but without it rural Australia would be a shadow of what it is today.

Many things stake their claim for a rural person’s attention, but nothing has the capacity of water to focus interest and raise controversy.

And with climate change tightening its grip on the world, water, its distribution and availability is a “life-issue” of heightened importance.
