The New South Wales State Opposition is warning every household in the state will feel the effects of water buy backs on the Murray Darling Basin.

The first tranche of water buy backs have begun, with the federal government seeking 70 gigalitres of water from landholders in Basin communities.

Farmers, Irrigators, advocates and industry have been pushing back against the plan, warning it would devastate basin communities and push up prices at the checkouts.

Rural Reporter Emily Minney has spoken with Shadow Water Minister Steph Cooke, who says the plan will have inevitable flow on effects.
