Farms to get water use sustainability funds ...

From ABC News:

South-east Queensland farms are being offered help to improve the sustainability of their water use.

Almost $300,000 will be given to feedlot, pig, chicken-meat and dairy farmers under the Commonwealth's National Landcare Program.

It is one of several projects in the state to gain funding under the federal scheme.

Bronwyn Fisher from the Queensland Dairyfarmers Organisation says the initiative will help farmers 'do their bit' while drought conditions continue.

"It's about managing their water, and particularly their waste water, better, so just like in town where particularly in Brisbane at the moment where there's incentives available to help I guess re-use water and install tanks and things like that," she said.
