Welcome to Southern Riverina Irrigators
SRI is a peak advocacy group representing 1800 generational farming families in the Riverina. Our farmers are committed to producing food and fibre through environmentally and economically sustainable practices within the footprint of Murray Irrigation Limited (the largest privately owned Australian water supply company).
Highly productive, our region utilises water sourced from the NSW Murray above the Barmah Choke. Despite seasonal variabilities and poor water policy within our region, we continue to produce high quality agricultural products, contributing an estimated $6billion annually to the Australian economy while supporting 25,000 jobs.

To see an irrigation region where water once again flows down the channels and onto our farms. A region where our hard working farmers can get on and do what they do best – and that is grow food and fibre for the nation and care for the environment.
To ensure fair and equitable access and distribution of water across the Murray-Darling Basin and in particular, the forgotten region of the Southern Riverina.
To ensure farming farming families who have been putting food on the table of this great nation for generations, have the opportunity and the water to continue to do so for the generations to come.
