About the Integrity Talk
Who gets what water? Water allocation, water permitting and corruption in a changing climate. A critical discussion on different water allocation systems (including permits, pricing systems and agency water tenure) and the pressures they face, focusing on systemic integrity, corruption, and the need for reform for equitable water management. Answering the Question: "How can water be shared equitably and transparently among small and large users, especially as water becomes increasingly scarce and unpredictable?"
