Northern Adelaide Irrigation Scheme
Location:
Estimated Cost:
The scheme will deliver new water treatment facilities in the Northern Adelaide Plains, and will construct infrastructure to treat, store and distribute recycled irrigation water to local producers.
This project will provide an additional 12GL of recycled water for horticultural production, supporting expansion and intensification of investment in higher value agriculture in the Northern Adelaide Plains.
It will provide local growers with a climate-independent source of recycled water to help improve water security and build resilience to drought and the opportunity to expand agricultural production.
The $155.6 million project is jointly funded by the Australian Government ($45.6 million) and the South Australian Government through SA Water ($110 million).
Australian Government funding is provided through the National Water Infrastructure Development Fund.
This project is underway.
