  • Food & Fibre Great South Coast’s Farmer Water Use and Challenges Survey. The survey asks farmers about their location, farming activities, water sources and current water-related challenges. Responses will help Food & Fibre Great South Coast represent regional farming needs and priorities in its submissions and advocacy on the Western Region Sustainable Water Strategy.  The survey should take about 5 minutes.
