Industry calls on ministers to help as water crisis hits critical point

摘要

This was one of the critical statements made by the Horticultural Australia Council (HAC) at last month's Horticultural Australia Limited (HAL) Industry Forum in Sydney, which addressed how to manage the current water crisis in the Murray Darling Basin. HAC, Chief Executive Officer Kris Newton told delegates that in the event that water in-flows to the Basin improve, the current top priority of the Murray Darling Basin Committee was "the domestic component of town water supply, basic landholder rights and domestic and stock needs and critical industry requirements."
