Farmer react to fresh plans to save Murray-Darling river
  • 8 months ago
Known as the nation's food bowl, the Murray Darling Basin produces billions of dollars of tourism, food, and fibre every year. It is home to internationally recognised wetlands and provides drinking water to three million Australians. It's facing an uncertain future, which the government hopes can be saved through buying water from farmers to boost the environment. But farmers claim it would come at the expense of jobs and regional communities.
