چکیده

Management of water resources often involves significant negotiation with regard to complex social, economic and environmental trade-offs likely to result from changes in policy or access. In NSW, changes to water allocations and access, through the design and implementation of Water Sharing Plans, involved negotiation between stakeholders representing many different interests and concerns. A key gap identified by many stakeholders involved in these negotiations was easy access to integrated, scientifically sound and generally agreed upon information on the socioeconomic trade-offs likely to result from changes in access, allocation and pricing. In addition, estimates of impacts on the flow regime and on river health are also required. This paper describes the Water Allocation Decision Support System (WAdss) developed to consider these types of trade-offs resulting from changes to access and allocation across the three water systems (unregulated, regulated and groundwater), and its implementation to two NSW catchments, the Gwydir and Namoi catchments.
