The Water Ethics Network facilitates sharing of experience, ideas, and information about events and activities relating to water ethics. The aim is to bring an awareness of water ethics into the everyday discourse of water policies and management decisions, so that choices about water use and water ecosystem management are consciously informed by values.

Water Guides, Rules or Regulations?
In Australia's arid heartland, a water
conservation revolution is under-way. Last November I spoke with Liz
Locksley, Alice Water Smart (AWS) Homes and Business Program Manager,
about the Alice
Water Smart Guide, at that
time called the “Community
Water Rules”.

Gutsy
Bold statement on Indigenous access
to water resources barely causes a ripple
My water-nerd friend called it “gutsy”.
Last month, Australia's National
Water Commission (NWC) released this
statement calling for water allocation plans to include reserves
of water for Indigenous economic development.
The NWC's “Position Statement:
Indigenous Access to Water Resources” reflects policy from the
advisory group, First
People's Water Engagement Council. The statement describes
actions needed to improve Indigenous access to water in several
areas: water for culture, water for economic development, leadership
and governance, water planning/ management and drinking water
security in remote communities.
