The federal government’s plan to restore the Murray-Darling Basin river system to health is on track after key funding laws were passed by the Senate.
MPs approved securing an extra one-eight billion dollars through a special account today, to pump up to 450 billion litres of additional water back into the basin.
The money will be used primarily to fund water saving projects on farms, and to buy back water entitlements from farmers, to restore the basin to health.
