Agriculture in the Murray-Darling Basin of Australia represents a
controversial 'policy experiment' comprising large capital
investments, innovation and enterprise across a hundred-year
period. This book, which contains contributions from some of
Australia's foremost economic, social science and public policy
researchers and writers, examines the evolution of public policy
frameworks that transformed water management from initial
exploitation for irrigation as a dominant single use to a dynamic
multiple use resource system. Water Policy Reform provides both
analytical insights and examples of successes and failures in
developing water policy in a complex and politically-contested
environment. As such, this work attempts to develop a comprehensive
management plan for the Basin and provides novel and invaluable
lessons for an increasingly global problem. This well-researched
study will interest both economists and those with public policy
interest in academia and the public sector, including development
agencies concerned with sustainable water resource management.
