OK Victoria finally signed up – so what?
The Victorians finally agreed to hand over management of the Murray to a single authority BUT
- The deal cost $BILLION
- No more water will go into the Murray from Victoria until 2011!
Their irrigators will make the kind of changes that others have been making to improve the efficiency of use and delivery of the water for years without the subsidies.
Oh to be a self centred head water user.
The huge dams on cotton farms in Qld come in here as well.
My take on this is that anything that dams water that would naturally end up in the river system should be measured and counted and PAID FOR as water taken from the river.
We have one country and we should all be paying for the water we use and ensuring that there is some left at the “end of the pipe”.
