Description:
Australia's Murray-Darling Basin supports a large and important irrigation sector. For much of the past decade, many regions within the Basin have experienced prolonged drought with consequent reductions in water availability for agriculture, the environment and other consumptive uses. The stresses on the Murray-Darling Basin's water resources have focused attention on the need to adapt to a future with less water. Recent water policy reforms aim to provide for a long-term, sustainable and efficient use of water. Measuring progress toward water policy and program objectives depends on appropriate and reliable data. In 2007, ABARES commenced a large-scale survey of irrigators throughout the Murray-Darling Basin to better understand and monitor the effects of poor seasonal conditions on irrigators and how the irrigation sector was adjusting to these effects. This report presents an overview of results from the latest irrigation survey, covering 2009-10, as well as some preliminary estimates for 2010-11. The survey has been co-funded by the National Water Commission and the Australian Government Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities
