The Mulloon Institute has been awarded $3.8 million over five years by the Federal Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources, Hon. David Littleproud, for its project to rehydrate Australia, improve the environment, boost farm productivity and engage the community.

“Landscape repair and rehydration through slowing the flow of water can help boost crops and build drought resilience in the future,” Minister Littleproud said.

“Already this pilot program has re-established the connection between Mulloon Creek and its floodplain.”This has raised the level of the stream, stabilised the flow and allow the creek-floodplain system to regenerate naturally.
