We will equip water resource managers with a powerful and effective tool for the allocation of water resources between rural and urban sectors. The importance of this bridge cannot be understated. To date urban centres have endured stringent water restrictions to manage dwindling urban suppliers, while ignoring the potential benefits of purchasing water from the irrigated agriculture sector. Furthermore, rural communities have suffered hardship due to restricted agricultural production during times of drought. This research proposal represents an exciting solution to both problems and offers the tantalising prospect of water shortages in our capital cities and towns becoming distant memories.

为水资源管理者提供有力有效的城乡水资源配置工具。 这座桥的重要性不可低估。 迄今为止，城市中心已经承受了严格的用水限制，以管理日益减少的城市供应商，同时忽视了从灌溉农业部门购买水的潜在好处。 此外，由于干旱期间农业生产受到限制，农村社区遭受了困难。 这项研究提案为这两个问题提供了一个令人兴奋的解决方案，并让我们的首都城镇水资源短缺的美好前景成为遥远的记忆。
