The inquiry will look at whether there was a critical breakdown...

Guardian: Irrigators have welcomed a plan by the federal government to sell back environmental water entitlements to farmers in the Murray-Darling basin. The move comes as a large part of the basin experiences a drying-out phase brought on by extreme hot weather and below average rain during spring and summer.
