Water Security in the Tatiara and Coorong Districts

The Coorong Tatiara Local Action Plan has taken an interest in the impact of increased mains water costs on our local farm businesses. We are concerned about the flow on effects of this increase in costs to primary producers in our region.

Livestock production on perennial pastures in the optimum land use on our fragile sandy soils. Any change in land use could potentially increase the risk of wind erosion & dryland salinity.

Increased costs in production from high mains water costs has cut into the farm budget available to spend on land management related activities such as clay spreading, perennial pasture establishment and management, and revegetation.
