Jubilee Almonds & Century Orchards specialise in the business of growing quality Almonds on a sustainable basis, providing maximum returns. Jubilee Almonds: 480ha Almonds Century Orchards: 540ha Almonds 100ha Wine Grapes - by 2017 will be 600ha almonds

River Management From this irrigators experience South Australian irrigators have been world leaders in water use efficiency – SA extraction has been capped since 1969 The River Murray has been managed well – One of the best managed rivers in the world – In the early 90’s salinity at Jubilee was up to 600EC units now less than 200EC units

Influence of the MDBA Plan Over allocation of Murray River MDBA Plan works to address over allocation Recovery of 2750GL SA River Murray Community Group input into development of MDBA Plan Currently we have access to 1850GL 645GL for irrigators of which nearly half is held by the CEWH SA irrigators have agreed to the changes but want security in future droughts Confusion between ‘water savings’ and ‘irrigation efficiency’

PIIP / OFIEP / SARMS Water saving initiative programs introduced prior to and as part of the MDBA Plan Has helped recover water through irrigation infrastructure upgrades

Summary Take Home Messages The river system has been managed well On going review of the legislation with irrigator participation Initiatives for water buy back and infrastructure upgrades have been managed very well by the NRM board & PIRSA Irrigators should have confidence that the river is now a sustainable resource
