WaterSmart Farms Funding Assistance for Irrigators. The WaterSmart Farms Project is part of the Hawkesbury-Nepean River Recovery Program, which has received funding through the Australian Government’s Water for the Future program and the NSW Government’s Climate Change fund. The Program aims to improve river health below the major water supply dams by increasing the water available for environmental flows in the river and by reducing nutrient loads exported to the river in stormwater, agricultural runoff and sewage effluent. The aim of the WaterSmart Farms Project is to reduce agricultural water use in the lower Hawkesbury Nepean catchment (see map on page 3) by improving irrigation efficiency through on-ground works supported by training activities.
