In Australia, a new water reservation proposal hopes to lower 25% of the water application from the Murray-Darling river basin, which covers an area the equivalent of the combination of territories covering Spain and France.

However, the farmers criticize the proposal severely; they claim such can destroy the local communities and increase the pressure on food price.
