Water use

The Warrego catchment is home to very few people — about 0.3% of the population of the Murray–Darling Basin. The income of the population is derived directly from grazing of beef cattle and sheep for wool production, or associated employment; and retail and services to the local population. There are very few irrigated crops, with a small amount of cotton and horticultural crops.
