Foresight: Anticipatory decision-making in water resource management

面对环境破坏，长期规划对于确保澳大利亚的水资源至关重要。该项目旨在通过审查预期决策方法的效力，促进可持续和公平的水管理。定性研究将被用来检查科学知识是如何使用或质疑在水改革在墨累达令盆地。预期成果包括提高规划未来变化的能力，并在澳大利亚自然资源管理中建立预期决策。这将在科学和决策的综合方法基础上带来重大惠益，解决利益攸关方之间的权衡问题，以确定共同的行动途径。

Long-term planning is vital to secure Australia’s water resources in the face of environmental disruption. This project aims to contribute to sustainable and equitable water management by examining the efficacy of anticipatory decision-making approaches. Qualitative research will be used to examine how scientific knowledge is used or contested in water reform within the Murray-Darling Basin. Intended outcomes include improved capacities to plan for future change and establishing anticipatory decision-making within Australian natural resource management. This should provide significant benefits based on an integrated approach to science and decision-making that addresses trade-offs between stakeholders to identify shared action pathways.
