Water Stewardship and the Renmark Irrigation Trust

Water Source recently caught up with Rosalie Auricht, General Manager at the Renmark Irrigation Trust on the topic of Water Stewardship.

Water Source have published a fantastic article highlighting the great efforts by the Renmark Irrigation Trust and our community on Water Stewardship in our community.
