Landholders can apply for a $1000 or $2000 reimbursement if they extract water from groundwater, or regulated or unregulated river sources in the Murray–Darling Basin and hold an annual entitlement of 100 ML or greater.
It is also available for farmers who have used 100 ML of water or more in any one year since 2023.
The initiative is part of a government $10.5 million Telemetry Uplift Program, aimed at improving water resource management, reducing costs for water users, and supporting NSW to fast-track metering reforms.
