Water entitlements set to go cheap

Irrigators in the southern Murray-Darling Basin may be able to pick up some water entitlement bargains in the next 13 months, according to water trading company Waterfind. Waterfind expects prices for permanent water will plummet by 15 to 25 per cent because of the temporary removal of Commonwealth Government water buying tenders. It has made the prediction in an analysis released this week of the draft Basin Plan, reports The Land.
