Sustainable Rural Water Use and Infrastructure Program (SRWUIP): Private Irrigation Infrastructure Operators Program for New South Wales

The Sustainable Rural Water Use and Infrastructure Program (SRWUIP) is a $10 billion national program investing in rural water use, management and efficiency, including improved water knowledge and market reform, and water purchase for the environment. It consists of three main components: irrigation infrastructure projects (including those projects listed below); water purchase and supply measures. The majority of SRWUIP infrastructure funds are committed to projects in the Murray-Darling Basin for improving the operation of off-farm irrigation delivery systems and helping irrigators improve on-farm water use efficiency. The water savings generated from these projects are shared between the Australian Government for environmental use, and irrigators for consumptive use.
Environment related objective
To recover water entitlements resulting from water savings generated from eligible infrastructure upgrade projects by private irrigation infrastructure operators; To improve the efficiency and productivity of water use and management, both off and on-farm, helping to secure a sustainable future for irrigation communities
