可持续发展的概念是在过去30年中出现的，其发展和表述有许多先例，可以从许多方面加以解释。但是，我们现在所理解的可持续性概念在1987年布伦特兰报告中被阐述为满足当代需要而不损害后代满足其自身需要的能力的发展。然而，在当今世界，这一概念更为复杂，它包括经济成就、我们社会的社会机构和生态考虑。在澳大利亚，可持续性被解释为生态可持续发展（ESD），这是地方，州和国家层面正式确立的政策目标。这项研究是基于在澳大利亚农村进行的一项研究的结果，以了解处于澳大利亚水政策尖端的灌溉者如何看待ESD。它使用了一种名为“摄影故事”的新颖方法，鼓励灌溉者和政策制定者之间进行对话，他们努力进行有效沟通，并试图描绘可持续的水资源管理。这些照片反映了他们在水政策的可持续性要素方面的工作经验;它们表明，对参与者而言，可持续性包括社会、经济和环境方面的可持续性。
The concept of sustainable development has emerged over the last 30 years and its development and articulation has a number of antecedents and it can be interpreted in many ways. But the idea of sustainability, as we now understand it, was articulated in the 1987 Brundtland Report as the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. However, in today’s world the concept is more complex and it includes economic achievements, social institutions of our society and the ecological considerations. In Australia, sustainability is interpreted as Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD), which is the formally established policy goal at local, state and national levels. This study is based on the findings of a research study conducted in rural Australia to understand how irrigators who are at the sharp end of Australian water policy visualize ESD. It used a novel method called ‘photostory’ to encourage a dialogue between the irrigators and policy makers who strive to communicate effectively and tried to picture sustainable water management. The photostories represent their experiences in working on the sustainability elements of water policies; they suggest that sustainability to the participants includes sustainability of the social, economic and environmental aspects.
