/environment/ en /environment/news/list/2024/04/22/murray-darling-basin-water-theft-laws-suck-more-than-river-irrigation-pumps Water is one of ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog’s most valuable commodities. Rights to take water from our nation’s largest river system, the Murray-Darling Basin, are worth almost A$100 billion. These rights can be bought and sold or leased, with trade exceeding A$2 billion a year. But water is also being stolen (no-one knows how much) and the thieves usually get away with it.

Costs have at least quadrupled every decade since 1970 and that trend is set to continue.
