Skipping out the door, the little girl jumped over the concrete steps and cartwheeled across the lush green grass. She whistled happily to herself as she grabbed some fennel off a sprouting plant at the back of the garden to munch on, before jumping to reach the highest bars of a bent metal ladder that was attached to the apricot tree, swinging across it like monkey bars. An hour later, as the sun began to dip in the sky, she had her helmet on and was off for a scoot around the neighbourhood wetlands with her big brother and a family from the next street, the parents following lazily behind, their mouths and noses enjoying their new found freedoms in the fresh air. The wetlands were full of birdsong, or rather cacophony when the cockatoos entered the fray overhead, and were teeming with tadpoles and low croaking, and a myriad of other insects and people who had come to appreciate the beauty of the welcoming day. Halfway around the path at the edge of one of the ponds, peering through and over the reeds, there were outstretched arms from a bunch of very excited people, some with kids on their shoulders, exclaiming “Look! There!” The kids dumped their scooters and ran over to see what was happening. The water broke slightly and circular reverberations could be seen making their way in all directions to the reeds. “Are you sure?” said one of the women, disbelieving the crowd. “There can’t be any here,” said another, “It’s likely just a fish.” The water broke slightly again, with a dark grey protrusion like a slippery stone just visible. “There! There!” shrieked a young boy from his mother’s shoulders: “It’s a beak!” And as if just to confuse the crowd, a couple of seconds later, a patch of sleek brown appeared near the tree debris a metre away and travelled along the surface of the darkly reflective water for just a second before appearing to dive out of sight. “Papa, papa, c’est un ornithorynque” squealed the excited little girl, her face brimming with delight. Not waiting another second, she turned to her brother and affirmed in no uncertain terms, “This is the absolute best day of my life!”
小女孩跳出门,跳过水泥台阶,翻着车穿过郁郁葱葱的绿草。当她从花园后面一株发芽的植物上摘下一些茴香大嚼时,她高兴地吹着口哨,然后跳到连接在杏树上的弯曲金属梯子的最高栏杆上,像猴架一样在上面摆动。一个小时后,当太阳开始在天空中落下时,她戴上头盔,和她的哥哥以及隔壁街道的一家人一起在附近的湿地上慢跑,父母懒洋洋地跟在后面,他们的口鼻在新鲜空气中享受着新发现的自由。湿地里充满了鸟鸣声,或者更确切地说,当凤头鹦鹉进入头顶时,那里充满了蝌蚪和低沉的叫声,还有无数其他昆虫和前来欣赏欢迎日美景的人。在其中一个池塘边的小路上走到一半时,一群非常兴奋的人伸出双臂,其中一些人肩上扛着孩子,大声喊道:“看!在那里!”孩子们扔下摩托车,跑过去看看发生了什么。水面微微破碎,可以看到圆形的回声向各个方向传到芦苇丛中。“你确定吗?”其中一个女人说,不相信人群。“这里不可能有,”另一个人说,“很可能只是一条鱼。”水再次轻微破裂,一个深灰色的突起就像一块光滑的石头。“在那里!在那里!”一个小男孩从他母亲的肩膀上尖叫道:“这是一只喙!”似乎只是为了迷惑人群,几秒钟后,一块光滑的棕色出现在一米外的树木残骸附近,沿着黑暗反射的水面行驶了一秒钟,然后似乎消失了。“爸爸,爸爸,这是最棒的鸟”兴奋的小女孩尖叫着,脸上洋溢着喜悦。她没有再等一秒钟,就转向哥哥,毫不含糊地肯定道:“这绝对是我一生中最美好的一天!”

ABSTRACT Australia’s ability to address Indigenous claims for water rights and to advance both national Indigenous and water policy is hampered by a lack of information on Indigenous water entitlements and the communities that hold them. This paper contributes to the policy agenda of increasing Indigenous water rights by developing a method that quantifies and enables spatially explicit comparison of Indigenous-held water within and across Murray-Darling Basin jurisdictions. We construct baselines for (i) Indigenous population (ii) Indigenous holdings of surface water entitlements, and (iii) Indigenous holdings of groundwater entitlements across water management units in the Basin. We estimate that Indigenous surface water holdings constitute no more than 0.17% of the equivalent permitted take across the entire Basin. Groundwater entitlements held by Indigenous entities constitute 0.02% of all available groundwater. The approximate market value of these water entitlements is A$19.2 million in 2015–16 terms, which equates to 0.12% of the total $16.5 billion market value. In contrast, 5.3% of the Murray-Darling Basin population is Indigenous, a proportion that is rapidly increasing. The production of estimates of this type, and Indigenous control of the data needed to generate them, are first steps in a reparations process that can contribute towards Indigenous water justice.
由于缺乏关于土著居民水权和拥有水权的社区的信息,澳大利亚解决土著居民水权诉求和推进国家土著和水政策的能力受到了阻碍。本文通过开发一种量化方法,并能够对墨累-达令盆地管辖区内和整个管辖区内的土著水资源进行空间上明确的比较,为增加土著水权的政策议程做出贡献。我们构建了(i)土著人口(ii)土著拥有地表水权利,以及(iii)盆地各水管理单位的土著拥有地下水权利的基线。我们估计,当地的地表水储量不超过整个盆地允许储量的0.17%。土著实体拥有的地下水权益占所有可用地下水的0.02%。2015-16年度,这些水权的市场价值约为1920万澳元,相当于总市场价值165亿澳元的0.12%。相比之下,墨累-达令盆地5.3%的人口是土著居民,这一比例正在迅速增加。这类估计数的编制以及土著居民对编制这些估计数所需数据的控制,是有助于土著人民实现水正义的赔偿进程的第一步。

ABSTRACT Many water scientists aim for their work to inform water policy and management, and in pursuit of this objective, they often work alongside government water agencies to ensure their research is relevant, timely and communicated effectively. A paper in this issue, examining 'Science integrity, public policy and water governance in the Murray-Darling Basin, Australia’, suggests that a large group of scientists, who work on water management in the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) including the Basin Plan, have been subject to possible ‘administrative capture'. Specifically, it is suggested that they have advocated for policies favoured by government agencies with the objective of gaining personal benefit, such as increased research funding. We examine evidence for this claim and conclude that it is not justified. The efforts of scientists working alongside government water agencies appear to have been misinterpreted as possible administrative capture. Although unsubstantiated, this claim does indicate that the science used in basin water planning is increasingly caught up in the politics of water management. We suggest actions to improve science-policy engagement in basin planning, to promote constructive debate over contested views and avoid the over-politicisation of basin science.
摘要许多水资源科学家的工作目标是为水资源政策和管理提供信息,为了实现这一目标,他们经常与政府水资源机构合作,以确保他们的研究具有相关性、及时性和有效沟通。本期的一篇论文研究了“澳大利亚墨累-达令盆地的科学诚信、公共政策和水治理”,该论文表明,在墨累-达令盆地(MDB)从事水管理工作的一大群科学家,包括盆地计划,可能会受到“行政捕获”。具体而言,有人建议他们支持政府机构青睐的政策,以获得个人利益,例如增加研究资金。我们审查了这一说法的证据,得出结论认为这是不合理的。与政府水务机构合作的科学家们的努力似乎被误解为可能的行政捕获。尽管这一说法没有得到证实,但它确实表明,流域水资源规划中使用的科学越来越多地陷入了水资源管理的政治之中。我们建议采取行动,提高科学政策在流域规划中的参与度,促进对有争议观点的建设性辩论,避免流域科学的过度政治化。

ABSTRACT In recent decades, the adoption of smart water metering technology for water management has increased. The case for the adoption of smart water meters is mainly motivated by engineering and efficiency considerations around water conservation and related issues, for instance leak detection. At a consumer level, this can lead to improved feedback resulting in better customer control over consumption and household expenditure. The rate of adoption of smart water meters is dependent on many factors such as initial cost. The cost is expected to reduce as the technology matures and more options become available. The rate of adoption of the technology is also expected to be shaped by a variety of regulatory and social considerations. The purpose of this paper is to review the regulatory and social aspects that are likely to affect the adoption of the smart water metering technology in the future, with a focus on Australia. Instances of these aspects include privacy and health concerns, social acceptance, and communication strategies. It is expected that this paper will generate a healthy debate around the adoption of smart water meters to help the water sector to achieve a smooth transition from conventional to smart water meters.
摘要近几十年来,智能水计量技术在水管理中的应用越来越多。采用智能水表的理由主要是出于节水和相关问题(例如泄漏检测)的工程和效率考虑。在消费者层面,这可以改善反馈,从而使客户更好地控制消费和家庭支出。智能水表的采用率取决于许多因素,如初始成本。随着技术的成熟和更多的选择,成本预计会降低。该技术的采用率预计也将受到各种监管和社会因素的影响。本文的目的是审查未来可能影响智能水计量技术采用的监管和社会方面,重点关注澳大利亚。这些方面的例子包括隐私和健康问题、社会接受和沟通策略。预计本文将围绕智能水表的采用引发一场健康的辩论,以帮助水务部门实现从传统水表向智能水表的平稳过渡。

ABSTRACT Irrigation decision-making is complex. It requires balancing multiple risks . We examined if incorporation of weather forecasts into irrigation decision-making improved environmental and economic outcomes on dairy farms in Canterbury, New Zealand. We focused on understanding how farmers can manage irrigation decision-making with uncertain weather forecasts, and the associated impacts on drainage, pasture growth and economics. Previous work had demonstrated that weather conditions were not used in irrigation decision-making as much as desirable and that weather forecast uncertainty was not explicitly considered. , We incorporated weather forecasts as a perfect forecast and the best available forecast. We used probability percentiles to incorporate forecast uncertainty into decision-making. The research hypothesis was that through utilising risk profiles of factors that influence environmental and economic outcomes of irrigation decisions, farmers could improve decison-makingwhen faced with uncertain future weather states. When weather forecasts were integrated into irrigation decision-making, there were environmental and economic benefits relative to a simple deficit-based irrigation decision rule. Based on a case study, we predicted 5% additional profit (approximately, $200 per hectare) may be possible when the best available forecasts was used relative to a simple deficit-based decision rule, and a further 1% profit if forecast uncertainty was considered.
摘要灌溉决策是复杂的。它需要平衡多种风险。我们研究了将天气预报纳入灌溉决策是否能改善新西兰坎特伯雷奶牛场的环境和经济成果。我们专注于了解农民如何在天气预报不确定的情况下管理灌溉决策,以及对排水、牧场生长和经济的相关影响。先前的工作表明,在灌溉决策中没有充分利用天气条件,也没有明确考虑天气预报的不确定性,我们将天气预报作为完美预报和最佳预报。我们使用概率百分位数将预测的不确定性纳入决策中。研究假设是,通过利用影响灌溉决策的环境和经济结果的因素的风险状况,农民可以在面临不确定的未来天气状态时改进决策。当天气预报被纳入灌溉决策时,相对于简单的基于赤字的灌溉决策规则,存在环境和经济效益。根据一个案例研究,我们预测,当使用相对于简单的基于赤字的决策规则的最佳可用预测时,可能会有5%的额外利润(约每公顷200美元),如果考虑到预测的不确定性,则可能会有1%的利润。

Scientific integrity, public policy and water governance in the Murray-Darling Basin, Australia 澳大利亚墨累-达令盆地的科学诚信、公共政策和水治理

ABSTRACT We examine the impediments to scientific integrity with an analysis of the water science-policy interface for the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB), Australia. We highlight the dangers to the public interest of ‘administrative capture’ of science, whereby scientists are incentivised to narrow or close down the scientific questions asked, the debates on evidence and the scientific dialogue so to support predetermined policy actions. Administrative capture of science is not intended to be objective or disinterested and contributes to a diminution of trust in science and scientists. Using an integrative theoretical framework for analysis of the different stances taken by scientists in science–policy interactions, we show how scientists as Issue Advocates have sought to limit debate and the options available in relation to water reform in the MDB. We provide six possible actions to reduce administrative capture that encourages scientists to become Issue Advocates. These actions include procedural, professional, evaluative, judicial, instrumental and external controls that support scientific integrity by individuals and agencies that use and/or undertake publicly funded research.
摘要:我们通过对澳大利亚墨累-达令盆地(MDB)水科学政策接口的分析,考察了科学完整性的障碍。我们强调了“行政捕获”科学对公众利益的危险,通过这种方式,科学家被激励缩小或关闭所提出的科学问题、关于证据的辩论和科学对话,以支持预先确定的政策行动。对科学的行政捕获并不是为了客观或无私,而是导致对科学和科学家的信任减少。使用一个综合的理论框架来分析科学家在科学与政策互动中采取的不同立场,我们展示了科学家作为问题倡导者如何试图限制MDB中与水改革相关的辩论和可用选项。我们提供了六种可能的行动来减少行政捕获,鼓励科学家成为问题倡导者。这些行动包括程序、专业、评估、司法、工具和外部控制,以支持使用和/或进行公共资助研究的个人和机构的科学诚信。

Drinking water security: the neglected dimension of Australian water reform 饮用水安全:澳大利亚水改革中被忽视的层面
IF 3.2 Q2 WATER RESOURCES Pub Date : 2021-04-19 DOI: 10.1080/13241583.2021.1917098

ABSTRACT Drinking water security has been a neglected issue in Australian water reform. This article considers Australia’s chief water policy of the past two decades, the National Water Initiative, and its aim to provide healthy, safe, and reliable water supplies. Taking the Northern Territory as a case study, we describe how despite significant policy and research attention, the NWI has failed to ensure drinking water security in Indigenous communities in the NT, where water supply remains largely unregulated. The article describes shortcomings of legislated drinking water protections, the recent history of Commonwealth water policy, and areas where national reforms have not been satisfactorily undertaken in the NT. We aim to highlight key regulatory areas that require greater attention in NT water research and, more specifically, in the Productivity Commission’s ongoing inquiry process.
饮用水安全一直是澳大利亚水改革中被忽视的问题。本文考虑了澳大利亚过去二十年的主要水政策,即国家水倡议,其目的是提供健康、安全和可靠的水供应。以北领地为例,我们描述了尽管有重要的政策和研究关注,NWI如何未能确保北领地土著社区的饮用水安全,那里的供水基本上仍然不受监管。本文描述了立法饮用水保护的缺点,联邦水政策的近期历史,以及在北领地进行的国家改革尚未令人满意的领域。我们的目标是强调在北领地水研究中需要更多关注的关键监管领域,更具体地说,在生产力委员会正在进行的调查过程中。

ABSTRACT Water is a critical issue for governments and community in an Australian context, and internationally. First Peoples of Australia, its Indigenous peoples, have over 65,000 years of connection and understanding of water, held by more than 250 distinct Indigenous Nations that occur from the wet tropics, through desert country and south to the temperate zone, river lands and alpine regions. The value of water is central to Indigenous peoples’ being and culture, but since European colonisation in 1788, water has been subject to pumping, storage, diversion, extraction and pollution and without Indigenous people’s council. Most recently, water has been attributed a market value to sell and trade on a market that moves up and down with availability (drought, flood or in-between). Indigenous peoples have very small water entitlements despite the high value they place on water and the strong connection water has to their sense of identity, spirituality and culture. There is both a need and a great opportunity for Indigenous people to uphold and protect their water values through Indigenous-grounded methodologies or Indigenous-led water research, and so as to integrate Indigenous water knowledge into science and policy.
摘要在澳大利亚和国际范围内,水是政府和社区的一个关键问题。澳大利亚原住民对水有着超过65000年的联系和了解,由250多个不同的土著民族拥有,这些土著民族分布在潮湿的热带地区、沙漠国家和南部的温带、河流地带和高山地区。水的价值是土著人民生存和文化的核心,但自1788年欧洲殖民以来,水一直受到泵送、储存、分流、提取和污染的影响,而且没有土著人民委员会。最近,人们将水的市场价值归因于在一个随着可用性(干旱、洪水或两者之间)而上下波动的市场上销售和交易。尽管土著人民对水的重视程度很高,而且水与他们的身份感、精神和文化有着密切的联系,但他们享有的水资源却很少。土著人民有必要也有很大的机会通过基于土著的方法或土著主导的水资源研究来维护和保护他们的水资源价值,并将土著的水资源知识纳入科学和政策。

ABSTRACT This paper documents Indigenous Traditional Owners’ water values, rights, and interests from the Mitchell catchment in North Queensland. It is the first analysis of the catchment that links Indigenous water values, rights and interests with specific water resource assessment and development considerations. The paper highlights how relational and reciprocal values frame Traditional Owner responsibilities and obligations through water across generations, across geography, to places, and with the non-human and spiritual entities living on their traditional lands. This ethos of relatedness shapes the way Indigenous peoples want to be engaged in water assessments and planning processes – such processes must focus first on local and regional relationships, where Indigenous actors are central to the coordination of a wider multi-interest governance process. Relatedness relies on building trust, continuous learning, and communication to encompass different values amongst people who are inter-dependent in their use of and relationship with water. Traditional Owners are seeking new platforms that bring multiple knowledges to water resource assessments and planning processes – where Indigenous ways of knowing are included with science, policy, industry, conservation, and community knowledges into an adaptive process focused on long-term sustainability.
摘要本文记录了北昆士兰米切尔流域土著传统所有者的水资源价值、权利和利益。这是对集水区的首次分析,将土著水的价值、权利和利益与具体的水资源评估和发展考虑联系起来。本文强调了关系和互惠价值观是如何通过水、跨代、跨地理、跨地方以及与生活在其传统土地上的非人类和精神实体来界定传统所有者的责任和义务的。这种关联精神塑造了土著人民希望参与水资源评估和规划过程的方式——这些过程必须首先关注地方和区域关系,在这种关系中,土著行为者是协调更广泛的多利益治理过程的核心。关系依赖于建立信任、持续学习和沟通,以涵盖在用水和与水的关系中相互依赖的人之间的不同价值观。传统所有者正在寻求新的平台,将多种知识引入水资源评估和规划过程中——在这种平台中,土著人的认识方式与科学、政策、工业、保护和社区知识相结合,形成一个注重长期可持续性的适应性过程。

ABSTRACT Safe drinking water provision in remote Australian Indigenous communities can raise many challenges. An initiative to enhance drinking water treatment was piloted in Australia’s remote Torres Strait Islands. It was co-designed through close involvement of Torres Strait Islander local government officers and water operators. Data collection and analysis was undertaken independent researchers to assess the effectiveness of the pilot, drawing on both quantitative and qualitative sources, including field visits to the two Torres Strait Islands. The findings identified three key features for an effective programme of safe water delivery: appropriate infrastructure that is ‘fit for purpose, place and people’; mentoring and technical support for remotely located water operators, and cooperation across relevant state and local government agencies. The pilot initiative has adaptive potential for other remote communities and for other basic services, including wastewater treatment and solid waste management.
摘要澳大利亚偏远土著社区的安全饮用水供应可能会带来许多挑战。在澳大利亚偏远的托雷斯海峡群岛试行了一项加强饮用水处理的举措。它是由托雷斯海峡岛民地方政府官员和水务运营商密切参与共同设计的。独立研究人员利用定量和定性来源,包括对两个托雷斯海峡群岛的实地访问,进行了数据收集和分析,以评估试点的有效性。调查结果确定了有效的安全供水方案的三个关键特征:“适合用途、地点和人员”的适当基础设施;远程供水运营商的指导和技术支持,以及相关州和地方政府机构之间的合作。该试点举措对其他偏远社区和其他基本服务,包括废水处理和固体废物管理,具有适应性潜力。
