Australia and is home to over two million people. The Basin’s agriculture (both dryland and irrigated) accounts for almost 40% by value of Australia’s agricultural production.

The great bulk of the Basin’s water use is for agriculture. Most of the irrigated area is given to pasture and crops. Some crops (vegetables, fruit and nuts) yield relatively high prices for low levels of water use, but others (such as rice) produce lower value for high levels of water use.

The Basin’s highest water consumers in 2005–06 were for dairy farming, cotton-growing (20% of agricultural water), pasture and rice.

Water is also needed for domestic and industrial uses and to maintain life in the rivers and floodplains. As a result, the MDB is the most highly regulated river system in Australia, which is complicated by the fact the Basin straddles four states and the ACT.
