TAKE ACTION On WATER: Sign Waterkeeper Australias Murray Darling
Basin Petition In Australia, the Murray-Darling River
communities are struggling with massive economic, cultural and
environmental losses as water is diverted for wasteful
industrial agricultural use. The Murray-Darling Basin,
Australia’s Food Bowl, produces one third of the nation’s food.
But the government’s decision to prioritize irrigated crops and
pastures is destroying the watershed and the communities who
live there. It’s time for the Australian government, and
governments around the world, to put people, communities and the
environment first. Instead of crying “drought” it’s time we
prioritize sustainable water management.
