Abstract

In Australia, the state water Acts and related legislation determine the broad outline of property rights governing the water entitlements of irrigators and rural towns. Thus, these water rights may be described as state property regimes (Bromley 1991, p. 23). Irrigators, however, operate in a private sector environment where adaptability to climatic and market, forces is necessary for the maintenance of profitability. We critically assess the pricing, reliability and intertemporal characteristics of water rights in the major irrigation districts of Victoria and NSW.
