Water management in Australia is at the crossroads. The largest share of the nation's regulated water supply is used in low value irrigation while large new demands in industry and the cities cannot be fulfilled as a consequence of government funding restrictions. Despite a good deal of discussion and evidence on the merits of water markets, particularly in terms of achieving an efficient reallocation of water from irrigation to higher valued uses, the fact is that institutional developments have been minor. The principal legislation in New South Wales, together with a series of significant cases, are outlined to illustrate the complexities of the contemporary system of water administration in Australia. The difficulties of institutionalizing an operational water market are then highlighted together with feasible alternatives and impacts to the direct water market.
