Intensifying demands for fresh water are leading to unsustainable pressures on resources worldwide, particularly in Australia, where industrialization and arid conditions exacerbate conflicts over water use. This book draws on extensive ethnographic research in two Australian river catchments, focusing on diverse groups such as indigenous communities, farmers, and environmental organizations. It delves into their varying beliefs and practices concerning water, revealing the cultural meanings embedded in their interactions with the environment and highlighting the complexities of human-environmental relationships.
