How do the new water rules affect your business?
For the first time in its history, humankind is facing a worldwide water crisis. In most high income countries, less than 40 percent of available water is used for agriculture. The major exception is Australia where we use over 70 percent of our available water for irrigation. This is partly due to our dry continent but mainly reflects our poor irrigation efficiencies when compared to other developed countries. The recent drought over much of our continent has helped the media focus on many water issues, alerting the community to a need for better water utilisation.
