The Northern Australian Irrigation Futures Project aims to support debate and discussion regarding the future of northern Australia, and the possible role that irrigation may play in this future. This research supports this aim by providing new interpretations of expert knowledge and community processes to explore the notion that Northern Australian communities are adapting according to stakeholders' experiences of water and irrigation management.
