Summary
South Australian irrigators face a 62% water allocation for the 2026-27 year, lower than expected due to patchy rainfall. Industry leaders urge calm, citing the millennium droughts near-zero allocations. The river is critically endangered, with experts blaming excessive extractions for irrigated agriculture. Advocates push for 450 gigalitres more water to restore the system, as below-average rainfall is predicted for the crucial July-October period.
