One of the largest water infrastructure projects in regional Australia and the first to be completed with the specific aim of returning water to the environment. Features include: 20,000ML of water for use without impact on any irrigator's entitlements; restoration of more natural flow regimes to two local ephemeral wetland systems; continuation of sustainable irrigation in the area; and innovative design techniques to allow use of highly dispersive soils in the construction of storage embankments.
