Given the future risk of water scarcity, farmers will need to plan for greater farm-level adaptation. Drought and policy reform have inflicted significant economic, social and personal stress upon Murray-Darling Basin rural communities. This project aims to aid water managers and policy makers with a greater understanding of transformational farmer adaptation in order to plan for the economic, social and health impacts of future water scarcity from climate change and water reform-related policies. The focus will be on the Murray-Darling Basin, as well as undertaking a comparative analysis with water stressed basins in the United States.

考虑到未来水资源短缺的风险，农民将需要制定更大的农场层面适应计划。干旱和政策改革给墨累-达令盆地农村社区带来了巨大的经济、社会和个人压力。该项目旨在帮助水资源管理者和决策者更好地了解转型农民的适应能力，以便规划气候变化和水改革相关政策对未来水资源短缺的经济、社会和健康影响。重点将放在墨累-达令盆地，并与美国水资源紧张的盆地进行比较分析。
