Murray Darling Basin Plan's on-farm Water Efficiency Program axed by government - funny that, hey? ::) ::)

"No more water will be taken from farms to be returned to the environment under the Murray-Darling Basin Plan following a policy shift announced today by the federal government.

Speaking from a dairy farm in Victoria, Mr Pitt told the ABC he had axed the Water Efficiency Program (WEP), which provided irrigators in the basin with funds to upgrade and improve water infrastructure on farms.

The program helped to fund projects such as lining irrigation channels so water savings could be shared between the irrigator and the environment."


You do understand it is not water buyback?
