SA: Irrigators to get more water in SA

Irrigators along the River Murray in South Australia will get more water over summer
.. following a state government decision to lift allocations despite the ongoing drought.

Premier MIKE RANN says improved inflows to the Murray-Darling Basin in recent weeks
.. along with lower than expected losses .. has improved the amount of water available
to local farmers.

Allocations had already been lifted from 16 to 22 per cent from December 1 .. but will
now be lifted again to 32 per cent from December 14.
