The availability of water is central to the state's agricultural development. Rainfall is low and irregular over a wide area, yet at times flooding can be a serious problem. The construction of water conservation projects, especially around the Murrumbidgee and Murray Rivers, has changed the pattern of agriculture from the grazing of livestock to the sowing of crops.
