Water allocation planning in Australia

Source: National Water Commission
"This report is an analysis of current practice and lessons learned in water planning. It is drawn from 11 case studies of water plans across Australia, examining the processes used to develop the plans and the content of the plans themselves. The case studies were selected to be representative of the different approaches taken around Australia and to cover a range of different issues. The report is a broad sample of significant processes, approaches, scope and content. It is intended to initiate sharing of experiences between water planners in different jurisdictions. It is also intended to be a catalyst for further research and for development of improved approaches and for improvement in water-planning practices nationally."
