That i suspect is a townys view. Have you heard of evaportranspiration or know why its efficient to irrigate on a rainy day.
The cost of pumping water is enormous - do you seriuosly think farmers pump if they dont need to?

Lots of great farmers and Irrigators; but when something is free , well you know what happens; its not valued or cared for; user pays will upskill with better more efficient, conserving ,operating with exciting new monitoring tech etct o support this e.g. drones.

I don't think you read the bit where it says that the cost of pumping water is enormous. It already costs plenty to pump water. A farmer does not pump any more than is necessary. No need for userpays.

I see we are going to have to keep repeating it because the message is not getting through. The water is not free! It costs a heck of a lot to get it from its source to the user. And that costs attracts GST already

I dont think he is thinking at all - just regurgitating the mantra.

Come on JT, lift you game here.
So what is it actually supposed to be
2cents per litre
or
2 one hundredths of a cent per cubic metre
or
maybe do you want to make another one up?

Well if it is 2c per 1,000 litres (or 1 cumec) then why did you not write that then?
Why did you first write 2c per litre
and then why did you write 0.02 cents per cumec?
You seem to think that you you can chuck out any old rubbish and have people blindly accept it?
And you think I am on a different planet?
