AgVic-Understanding water supplu and demand in the southern Murray-Darling Basin - webinar

Register now to secure access to the webinar and recording

The webinar will focus on the findings of the third iteration of the Water supply and demand in the southern Murray-Darling Basin report produced by Aither, commissioned by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA).

The report presents up-to-date projected horticultural demand estimates and different baseline years, to make use of the most recent water data available across states.

The report finds that water availability risks for businesses are increasing. Even with trade opportunity and carryover, under extreme dry conditions, existing horticultural demand in the lower Murray may outstrip water available for irrigation.
