The Tasmanian Premier has announced $80 million in funding to drought proof the State.
5 major water projects around the State will get a share of the funding.
Paul Lennon announced the funding package at the opening of the Meander Dam in northern tasmania today.
The Premier says over the next 3 years he wants to focus on drought proofing the state.
Money will now pour into the Poatina Channel project to build pipelines to take water into the Midlands.
Large dams will be built in the north east and pipelines will be built to take irrigation water to the Mersey Forth region.
The Central Highlands water security will also improve.
Mr Lennon says the project has the potential to increase irrigation water supplies by 250,000 megalitres every year.
