Traditional interventions for mitigating flood risk and increasing water security continue to focus mainly on large-scale engineering solutions despite a growing body of evidence showing that large-scale water infrastructure investments can incur large cost overruns and produce significant,...

Climate change and climate variability induce uncertainty in yields, and thus threaten long term economic viability of rain-fed agricultural enterprises. Enterprise mix diversification is the most common, and is widely regarded as the most effective, strategy for mitigating multiple sources of...

Evaluations of pathogen management options have focussed on assessing relative removal effectiveness as a basis for prioritising alternative management investment decisions. Using a case study of the Myponga catchment, South Australia, this paper presents results of a cost-effectiveness risk...

This article presents an econometric analysis of irrigation commodity area and revenue responses to varying commodity prices, water availability and climate conditions for the second half of a decade long drought in the Murray–Darling Basin, Australia. We find statistically significant...

Climate variability, and its increase with climate change, pose substantial economic risks to agriculturalists and hence, limit their ability to respond to global challenges such as food security. Enterprise mix diversification is the most common, and is widely regarded as the most effective,...

Agricultural non-point source pollution, common in water supply catchments worldwide, can have significant environmental and human health impacts, and its mitigation poses a challenge for policymakers. We used deliberative multi-criteria evaluation (DMCE) to identify a mix and sequence of policy...
