On a point of order, the problem is that the conservation grant will not help to save water. It is not about conservation. If it is genuinely to be used for the purposes of conservation, it is a good idea, whether in a rural or an urban area. I have suggested some ways it could be used. I support the idea behind conservation grants to conserve water, but not a grant which is used as a carrot. That is the difference.
