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.
Private irrigator infrastructure operators
Type of measure
Funding agreement between the Commonwealth and the Private Irrigation Infrastructure Operators

As part of the grant requirements, a portion of the project water savings in the form of water entitlements are transferred to the Commonwealth for environment
