Murray Irrigation, in conjunction with fellow IIOs Coleambally Irrigation Cooperative Limited and Murrumbidgee Irrigation Limited, has applied for funding for a feasibility study to explore what is required to bolster the efficiency and resilience of our irrigation networks amid the current environment of water recovery, and find a pathway forward that will minimise the effects of buybacks on farmers and communities.
