Water Policy, Law, Governance and Culture

Our scarce water resources give rise to unique challenges for the way we determine how water is distributed, bought and sold. The University offers a broad, interdisciplinary array of integrated research into both the economic and environmental sustainability pressures upon these water markets and offers innovative solutions that coordinate the needs of multiple stakeholders. This research also offers ways to negotiate water issues at the interface of State Governments or their agencies and Federal initiatives. Leaders include Prof Godden, Director of the Centre for Resources, Energy and Environmental Law (CREEL), Dr Brad Potter (accounting and business information) and Profs Etchells and Langford (policy).
