Cash reward for saving Australia's watera contentious plan to reduce the amount of water that can be taken from the rivers in Australia s Murray-Darling Basin would reap billions of dollars in ecological benefits,
But the extraction of too much water from the basin s rivers has triggered increases in the salinity of water
the government agency in charge of the proposed plan the Murray-Darling Basin Authority has proposed limiting surface water use in the basin to 10,873 gigalitres per year.
750 gigalitres compared with 2009 levels of water use. It is a proposal that has divided public opinion,
who is science director of the CSIRO Flagship research programme Water for a Healthy Country, a group of hydrologists, ecologists,
economists and other scientists analysed how the plan would affect water flow and ecosystem services in the basin.

I am supporting water conservation programs. My administration has awarded 92 grants to water conservation projects that will save enough water for an estimated 950,000 people.
We are also working collaboratively with communities around the country on how to best manage freshwater resources in a changing climate,
in order to ensure adequate water supplies and protect water quality. Having clean water isn t enough if people don t have access to it,
which is why we are also working to improve access to clean water for rural American s and border counties.
Already my administration has invested in 5, 100 water and waste water community infrastructure projects to safeguard the health of 18 million rural residents and support 135,000 jobs.
This past summer, we also streamlined the process to improve water quality along the US-Mexico border that previously didn t have the right water facilities to ensure clean water.
By working together, we can continue to build on these achievements and find more efficient ways to use the water available,
conserve where we can, protect jobs, and secure safe drinking water for all Americans today and for years to come.
I will modernize the federal laws and regulations governing water use to enable smarter, more collaborative, more flexible,
and more cost-effective approaches that welcome state and local participation as partners and leaders.
and cooperative conservation measures will improve the water quality of our lakes, rivers, streams and coastal environments.

This means that less water escapes through transpiration which makes plants better able to withstand heat and drought.

The massive underground water source has turned a vast dry swath of the Great plains from North dakota to Texas into arable farmland.
At current usage rates, they estimate that an additional 39 percent of the water in the aquifer will disappear by 2060.
the number of corn crops and cattle fields which currently account for the majority of water usage in the US are expected to multiply well into 2040.
If farmers agree to use less water now however, they could safeguard future stores, says lead study author David Steward, a civil engineering professor at Kansas State university.
It would take a concerted effort the researchers calculated that farmers would need to reduce their pumping of the aquifer by roughly 80 percent to withdraw water at the rate that could be replenished naturally by rainfall.
Steward and his colleagues measured the water-level change in all of its 3, 025 wells at the beginning and end of five-year periods between 1960 and 2010.
Whereas farmers are using water more efficiently, the researchers found, they are also dedicating more and more land to corn and cattle.
Because corn is a highly water-intensive crop, and cattle feed extensively on corn, raising both in this region puts the aquifer at risk of depletion.

The problem of water overuse is not unique to the High Plains region. In California s Central Valley, where farmers use water flowing from the Colorado river Basin for irrigation,
they are learning to do more with less, because saltwater from the west coast began seeping into groundwater
as a result of overdrawing. If farmers using water-efficient irrigation methods are encouraged similarly to grow less water-intensive crops
the situation may be salvageable, says Samuel Sandoval Solis, an assistant professor and specialist in environmental and water resources at the University of California,
Davis."The agricultural community is catching up, says Solis, who was affiliated not with the study."
The researchers collected throat and intestinal swabs from 1, 341 birds, including chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons, partridges and quails, plus 1, 006 water and faecal samples from bird markets.
