Via ethnographic fieldwork in four watershed catchment areas, this comparative study examines how interest groups use and manage water resources. Working with Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal groups, pastoralists, miners, farmers and fishers, it will provide comprehensive in-depth analysis of the ways in which people conceptualise, use and evaluate water. The study will investigate different perspectives on water resource management and environmental issues, such as salinity. Its major objectives are to further understanding of human-environmental relations in contrasting settings. By elucidating various practices, needs and values, we will show how conflicts might be resolved and effective management of water resources ensured.

通过在四个集水区的民族志实地考察，本比较研究探讨了利益集团如何使用和管理水资源。 它将与土著和非土著群体、牧民、矿工、农民和渔民合作，全面深入地分析人们对水的概念化、使用和评估的方式。 这项研究将调查对水资源管理和环境问题的不同观点，如盐度。 其主要目标是进一步了解对比环境中的人类-环境关系。 通过阐明各种做法、需求和价值观，我们将展示如何解决冲突和确保水资源的有效管理。
