Australian governments have agreed to develop and implement policies to promote more efficient use of water resources and improved water quality. Policy objectives may include incentives for investment in efficient irrigation technologies. However, the presence of large, sunk investment and the...

Long run excess fishing capacity affects both the profitability and biological status of a fishery. In order for policy makers to determine optimal resource allocation to a fishery and to establish whether a fishery is over-capitalised, it is important to identify both the level and the source...

Many irrigation areas are facing the problems of aging infrastructure and a declining revenue base from which to fund maintenance and repair activities. The push toward full cost recovery for storage and delivery services arising from water reform policies means that some supply utilities will...

The regulation of river systems to meet water demands for irrigation in the southern Murray Darling Basin has changed the timing and the volume of the natural pattern of flows. Australian governments have committed to restoring, in part, winter and spring flow regimes to preserve and enhance the...

Efficient investment in salinity mitigation requires an understanding of how different landscapes respond to alternative land and water use options at both a regional and a broader scale. A simulation modeling framework that integrates the relationships between land use, vegetation cover,...
