/environment/ en /environment/news/list/2024/09/04/addressing-water-allocation-challenges-amid-climate-change Recent research from the ³ÉÈË´óƬ, led by Associate Professor Douglas Bardsley, underscores the urgent need to address the politicisation of water allocations as climate change impacts intensify. According to CSIRO climate models, the Murray-Darling Basin faces potential reductions in rainfall and runoff by mid-century, with predictions suggesting up to a 40% reduction in runoff under extreme scenarios.  September 04 2024 admin /environment/news/list/2024/09/04/addressing-water-allocation-challenges-amid-climate-change /environment/news/list/2024/06/13/consuming-landscapes The rural hinterlands of Australia’s metropolitan areas and regional cities, known as peri-urban regions, are well-known as sites of expanding habitat loss and a high incidence of threatened species.

Rights to take water from our nation’s largest river system, the Murray-Darling Basin, are worth almost A$100 billion. These rights can be bought and sold or leased, with trade exceeding A$2 billion a year. But water is also being stolen (no-one knows how much) and the thieves usually get away with it.
