Revitalising Collaborative Water Governance: Lessons from Water Planning in Australia

澳大利亚面临的最大挑战之一是管理其稀缺的水资源。然而，在设计和实施合作水资源治理方面的根本缺陷已经破坏了澳大利亚的水资源改革。该项目将批判性地评估协作水治理，制定法律和政策原则，使其能够以有效、高效和公平的方式动员起来，并调查它对水监管、市场和水治理的理论和实践所构成的挑战。吸取的经验教训可以应用于重塑水资源战略，确保有意义的合作社区参与，减少澳大利亚水资源的过度分配和过度使用。

One of Australia's greatest challenges is managing its scarce water resources. However, fundamental flaws in the design and implementation of collaborative water governance have undermined Australia's water reforms. This project will critically evaluate collaborative water governance, develop legal and policy principles enabling its mobilisation in an effective, efficient and equitable manner, and investigate the challenges it poses for the theory and practice of water regulation, markets and water governance more generally. The lessons learned can then be applied to reshape water strategy, ensure meaningful collaborative community engagement and reduce the over-allocation and overuse of water in Australia.
