An approximately 1,800 km water pipeline has been proposed to pump water from Western Australia’s North West region into the River Murray system.
Land Access and Management Services Operations Director – National Pipeline Project Management Group Peter Rayner said that the proposal had the potential to deliver up to 8,000 GL/a of water.
Mr Rayner said that approximately 4,000 GL of this would be introduced in to the Murray Darling System. The balance would be available to secure the long-term water future of South Australia, the Northern Territory and their resource development opportunities.
The proposal would see a pipeline constructed from the Ord River in WA’s Kimberley region across to the Adelaide – Darwin rail line in the NT, then follow the line south into SA before detouring in a south-easterly direction to the Murray Darling System.
