Week 04 Lecture: Managing the Murray-Darling Basin: a Case Study in Equity
Globally there is increasing conflict over scarce water resources. This lecture offers a case study of what is going to be a key global issue - how do we manage conflicting demands for water. The management of the Murray-Darling Basin illustrates the social, economic, and political difficulties in managing a landscape that covers 5 states and territories, and is relied upon to produce a large proportion of Australia's produce.
