Water use for different irrigated crops

What is the water use for irrigated crops (by Ha and by Kg) in various regions along the Murray Darling? - I.e. how much water, per ha and per kg, is required to grow cotton vs rice vs almonds etc?

Hi Gus, a response from social media follower @farmingwife_farminglife

There’s a really good article called ‘How to be the worst dinner party guest - respond to the Murray Darling’ Mike Logan, August 2017. That gives those important figures & facts around why different commodities are grown where... eg Almond trees use 8Ml/Ha. Really worth reading????????
