How does the NSW Wetland Recovery Program link to the Australian Government’s National Plan for Water Security?
The National Plan for Water Security is also concerned with redressing the decline in riverine and wetland health as a result of over-allocation. The NSW Wetland Recovery Program is consistent with the National Plan in terms of implementing practices that will contribute to the sustainable use of water. Common projects that will be funded under both the National Plan and the NSW Wetland Recovery Program include those focused on improving system efficiencies and addressing over-allocation through the purchase of water entitlements from willing sellers.
