The majority of Australia’s water resources are located and used in rural environments. Availability of water has influenced the distribution of population and land use patterns, including agricultural and industrial development.
The Rural Land Uses and Water Quality guidelines provide:
- background information on a number of the principal issues that affect water quality in rural environments
- a summary of useful resource material for individuals, agencies, community groups and organisations with an interest in natural resource management.
These guidelines are part of the National Water Quality Management Strategy.
