Clients who have experienced first-hand the benefits of Sustainable Water Solutions are Graham and Anne McInnes of Moonford, north of Monto, who operate a cattle backgrounding and cropping enterprise.

Mr McInnes said since sinking a 15,000 gallon/hour bore on his property, sourced by Sustainable Water Solutions, it has opened up a further 40 hectares of cultivation for irrigated cereal crops such as wheat.

"We are also in a position to go in and plant summer pastures or lucerne. It has enabled us to basically increase the number of cattle we background," he said.

Three years ago, the McInnes' went though an expensive exercise with diviners, which didn't produce any water.

"We cased one location and never got enough to give three dogs a drink," Mr McInnes said.

"However, if we had known about Sustainable Water Solutions back then, we would have saved ourselves a lot of time and money," he said.

"The team at Sustainable Water Solutions were able to pinpoint pretty much the exact spot to drill, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them."
