Better management of water for the environment

Under the Water Reform Action Plan (WRAP), the NSW Government committed to a program that worked towards the better management of water for the environment. The WRAP outlined three key actions that would provide the roadmap for reform of environmental water management:

• Establish an Interagency Working Group (IWG) to develop solutions to improve the management of environmental water
• Have the IWG present interim solutions within 90 days of commencement
• Publish explanatory materials on the department’s website so everyone has access to information on the WRAP, its progress and products.
