The Almond board of Australia has came out with a Water Policy Position in regards to the Murray-Darling Basin.
It’s objective is to ensure the Murray Darling Basin river system and its environs are healthy and can sustainably support a prosperous, diverse irrigated agricultural sector and its communities.
It sets actions such as a moratorium on all new water use licences pending a review of the systems capacity to deliver water to support more development, along with the ACCC to conduct an inquiry into water market trading rules, including but not limited to the existence of, or potential for, not-competitive conduct by non-water using investors.
