section::::history.:irrigation and closer settlement.









































large scale irrigation commenced with the establishment of the murrumbidgee irrigation area (mia) in 1912 which diverted water from the murrumbidgee river near narrandera. the river murray waters agreement of 1915 allowed 26 weirs to be constructed with locks to provide permanent riverboat access to echuca. when riverboat transport was no longer significant, the weirs supported irrigation. irrigation in the region continued to develop with the construction of the hume dam between 1919 and 1931, the burrinjuck dam built in 1928 and blowering dam built in 1968.
