  • House of Representatives Standing Committee on Agriculture And
    House of Representatives Standing Committee on Agriculture and Water Resources Inquiry into water use efficiency in Australian agriculture Submission by the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources Introduction 1. On 9 February 2017, the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Agriculture and Water Resources established an inquiry into water use efficiency in Australian agriculture. The committee is to inquire into: the adequacy and efficacy of current programmes in achieving irrigation water use efficiencies; how existing expenditure provides value for money for the Australian Government; possible improvements to programmes, their administration and delivery; and other matters, including but not limited to, maintaining or increasing agricultural production, consideration of environmental flows, and adoption of world’s best practice. 2. The Department of Agriculture and Water Resources (department) welcomes the opportunity to make this submission to the House Standing Committee on Agriculture and Water Resources. Water Use in Irrigated Agriculture 3. The development of irrigation infrastructure in Australia can be traced back to the 1850s and had its beginning in the private development of weirs across rivers and diversion channels. Legislation in various state jurisdictions was introduced from 1886 and established the principles that streams were state property administered by state- controlled water agencies. 4. State governments assumed responsibility for the development of water supply infrastructure such as dams and large public supply schemes as well as water licences. This intervention sustained decades of rural economic development focused on growth and expansion. 1 5. Rapid water resource development and growing demand for water began to take its toll on the environment and the focus of water resource management shifted in the 1980s to sustainability, with the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Water Reforms Framework in 1994 and a permanent cap on water diversions established in the Murray-Darling Basin in 1997.
