Water markets play a critical role in helping Australia’s food bowl survive periods of severe drought. This project aims to evaluate how the Murray-Darling Basin water markets performed, in terms of the impact of water ownership, and investigate how water reforms have affected rural communities over the past two decades. Expected outcomes include a clearer understanding on how different water ownership structures impact price and price volatility of water, market power, economic welfare of water traders, and what social and economic impacts water reforms in the past decades have in the Basin. The findings will provide critical evidence for evaluating future water reforms, building resilient rural communities and safeguarding food security.

水市场在帮助澳大利亚的食物碗度过严重干旱时期方面发挥着关键作用。该项目旨在评估墨累-达令流域水市场在水所有权影响方面的表现，并调查过去二十年来水改革如何影响农村社区。预期成果包括更清楚地了解不同的水所有权结构如何影响水的价格和价格波动、市场力量、水交易商的经济福利，以及过去几十年的水改革对流域产生了哪些社会和经济影响。研究结果将为评估未来的水资源改革、建设有复原力的农村社区和保障粮食安全提供关键证据。
