21.01.2022 FARMERS OFFER WATER FOR FREE A group of 45 local farmers say they'll happily work with Dubbo Regional Council to ensure water for critical human needs comes fir...st. The Mayor of Dubbo Ben Shields has said all irrigation should be ceased for the duration of the drought, including the use of ground water, to make more water available for residents. Claire Booth is a farmer near Geurie and said they've already offered to give their water allocations back to the Council. "Over the last 12 months, there's 45 family farms that are largely dependent on ground water surrounding the Dubbo area that have met and together have all agreed that the the supply of water for critical human need is an absolute priority," she said. "What we actually did last week was that we offered our water for free, I know we're going to be having some conversations in the next couple of days in relation to that, but we wanted to be able to show council that if we sit down together and map it out between a farmer and an engineer we can find a solution for everyone," Ms Booth added.
