Water Markets and their Environmental, Social and Economic Impacts in Australia
- Resumen
- In Australia, water trading has been an effective tool for distributing the risk of lower than expected rainfall in such a way as to minimise the negative impact of drought on rural communities. The system of water trading that exists in Australia operates via a framework of Federal and state/provincial government acts which, operating together, allow for water entitlements to be traded along Australia¿s major river systems. <br/> As the water market in Australia continues to grow it is likely that futures contracts and other derivatives will be developed which will further aid Australian agriculture manage risk.
