An exciting week this week, with the Prime Minister visiting Goolwa on Friday to announce a change to the Murray Darling Basin Plan to allow an extra 450 GL of water by an injection of $1.7 billion over 10 years to upgrade river systems.
The State Government of South Australia, with overwhelming community support, has been campaigning for a minimum of 3200 GL for environmental flows.
The Federal Government has also released $265 million to fund water recovery and industry regeneration projects in South Australia.
