Funded Activity Summary

Recasting solutions to the Murray-Darling Basin crisis: recognising and valuing the role of Indigenous people. This project will investigate the significance of water to Indigenous people of the Murray-Darling Basin, examine the effect of changes in water governance and management on Indigenous communities and draw on international and local models to evaluate options for effective and equitable means of addressing Indigenous claims for water and recognition. It will test the feasibility of Indigenous water plans to address Indigenous values and knowledge, give effect to Indigenous management objectives and articulate with statutory water plans. Results will contribute to geographical theory, transform water planning processes and enhance Indigenous capacity to influence allocation decisions, water policy and regional development solutions.
