Requiem or renewal? This is how a tropical city like Darwin can regain its cool

November 12, 2018 Lawrence Nield (University of Newcastle)

On my way to work, I walk across the intersection of Knuckey and Wood streets. Most days a homeless man on his haunches is mouthing bureaucratic platitudes: Let’s workshop this? We need to have meeting about this! Can […]

Out of all the news media articles discussing water markets & farm adaptation that I've read lately, this NYtimes story is quite good. It highlights many sides of the issue & the challenges facing US farming going forward (many of which apply in Aust).

It‘s Some of America‘s Richest Farmland. But What Is It Without Water?

A California farmer decides it makes better business sense to sell his water than to grow rice. An almond farmer considers uprooting his trees to put ...

Hydrological droughts can persist indefinitely after meteorological droughts, according to Australian-first research from @MonashUni. The Victorian study shows one-third of water catchments have not recovered from a severe drought after nearly eight years. https://t.co/uQb9Pq8beY

This is a riveting Dead Sea story (& stunning pictures) by @ForeignOfficial.

It's a water story with everything - externalities, public goods, cultural aspects, imperfect competition, conflict, property rights, info. asymmetry.

Sounds familiar?!

A section of highway buckled by a sinkhole.

At first the sinkholes swallowed a beachside resort. Then they kept spreading

It was the backdrop for many of the epic events narrated in the Bible, and its waters are treasured for their supposed healing powers. But the Dead S...
