About

Join our expert panel as they discuss how communities can shape their own water futures. The panel will present their research on:
• What supports community action on their own water futures,
• How community-led change is possible in a complex system like the Murray-Darling Basin.

From case studies, the panel will demonstrate that communities care deeply about place and the future, and that they are adaptable, interconnected and dynamic.
