This project documents and analyses the institutions currently governing water allocation in the Katherine-Daly region and explores how this could change under the National Water Initiative’s objective to expand the trade in water. The report discusses the analysis of how Top End growers may respond in a water market and the modelling of some policy scenarios based on these responses.
