Cracked soil near dead and derelict vineyard in the Murray Valley of South Eastern Australia. From 2007 onwards many vineyards were allowed die as farmers sold off water entitlements for a greater value than the farm produce was worth. Drought, climate change and alleged over allocation of available water contributed to a critical water shortage.
