Drought in New South Wales is causing severe water shortages and impacting farmers' livelihoods, with many struggling to provide for livestock amid ongoing dry conditions.
In New South Wales, almost half the region is now categorized as being in-drought or affected by drought, particularly affecting the southern and western areas. This extended period without adequate rainfall has raised significant concern among farmers, as they face dwindling supplies of water for their livestock. Livestock owners, such as Ryan Staniforth, have reported completely empty dams and creeks, forcing them to transport water for their animals just to keep them alive.
