Abstract

ABSTRACT Risks to shared water resources in the Murray–Darling Basin are reviewed after the report by CSIRO on the same topic in 2006. CSIRO outlined six major risks to shared water resources in the Basin. Herein, six groups of researchers have reviewed the risks of climate change, forest growth, groundwater, water infrastructure, water quality, and governance. These reviews bring an updated understanding of risk assessment and management that can contribute to the forthcoming reviews of the Water Act and Basin Plan in 2024–26. Drawing on these six papers, the authors synthesise knowledge of the risks to shared water resources and identify policy and management options and information gaps. We find that few risk factors have decreased in significance. Most risks remain and new risks are identified. Water managers must plan for a significant decrease in water availability and governments need to actively manage these risks under conditions of increasing uncertainty.

墨累-达令盆地共享水资源风险综述

摘要在2006年CSIRO关于同一主题的报告之后，对墨累-达令盆地共享水资源的风险进行了审查。CSIRO概述了该流域共享水资源的六大风险。在此，六组研究人员回顾了气候变化、森林生长、地下水、水基础设施、水质和治理的风险。这些审查带来了对风险评估和管理的最新了解，有助于2024-26年即将进行的《水法》和《流域计划》审查。根据这六篇论文，作者综合了共享水资源风险的知识，并确定了政策和管理选择以及信息差距。我们发现，很少有风险因素的显著性降低。大多数风险仍然存在，并发现了新的风险。水资源管理者必须为水资源的大幅减少做好计划，政府需要在不确定性增加的情况下积极管理这些风险。

期刊介绍： The Australasian Journal of Water Resources ( AJWR) is a multi-disciplinary regional journal dedicated to scholarship, professional practice and discussion on water resources planning, management and policy. Its primary geographic focus is on Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. Papers from outside this region will also be welcomed if they contribute to an understanding of water resources issues in the region. Such contributions could be due to innovations applicable to the Australasian water community, or where clear linkages between studies in other parts of the world are linked to important issues or water planning, management, development and policy challenges in Australasia. These could include papers on global issues where Australasian impacts are clearly identified.
