Water for the Future

June 22, 2008

Minister for Climate Change and Water, Penny Wong, has today released three separate fundings under the $12.9 billion federal Water For the Future plan:

  • $8.6 million to create a how-to guide for farmers, involving farm-scale demonstrations, with the aim of simultaneously improving water use and productivity, while delivering better environmental outcomes
  • $2.5 million for a national water education and awareness program to be developed by 2009, aiming to reach more than 70, 000 students across regional Australia each year.
  • The chance for irrigation providers to apply for a grant of $500, 000 to make their facilities efficient and sustainable.
