Irrigator and Community Attitudes to Water Allocation and Trading: A Comparative Study of the Goulburn Broken and Fitzroy Catchments by John Tisdell, John Ward and Tony Grudzinski (Griffith University) (CRC Report 01/5)
As water authorities across the country implement reform they face challenges in promoting adoption. Often adoption issues are specific to their catchment, but in some cases they are universal. Where they are common, water authorities have much to gain by exploiting their combined knowledge to address them.
Knowledge of common irrigator and community attitudes to trade, for example, is extremely important in the strategic development and successful implementation of water markets. This report compares irrigator and community attitudes to water trading between the Fitzroy and Goulburn Broken catchments. It provides important insight into irrigator and community attitudes that transcend the catchment ifferences and highlights issues that are catchment specific.
