Water markets are a decentralized approach for allocating water and water rights that have been touted as part of the future of water policy for decades [1–3]. While proponents have lamented their slow uptake and critics have resisted their spread, water markets are neither new nor rare. Water trading in the irrigation systems of Oman and Spain [4, 5], for example, has occurred for hundreds of years, and evidence of trading in Australia and the USA has been traced to the 19th century. Even regions with relatively abundant water rely on tanker water markets and other water entrepreneurs to address shortfalls of labor and infrastructure [6–8]. The diversity of water market activity is illustrated by the nearly $2 billion (AUD) average annual turnover in Australia’s surface water markets [9] or the tanker markets in Kathmandu which deliver approximately 20% of the water used by households in the dry season [10].Despite growing experience, discussions of water markets are often dominated by myths rather than evidence [11]. Research is splintered by competing definitions and assumptions, constraining the consolidation of theory and practical insights for policymakers [12]. Water market proponents highlight their potential to address diverse policy objectives by allocating water efficiently and enabling adaptation to shifting patterns of supply and demand. Policy objectives range from reducing groundwater overdraft and restoring environmental flows to broader social and development goals, including poverty alleviation, sustainable urbanization, agricultural risk management, and meeting the human right to water. In contrast, critics note how water markets can cause negative impacts on communities where water is bought and sold and can further sideline or exclude Indigenous peoples by reinforcing legacies of colonization and dispossession that have limited formal allocation of rights [13–15].
