Water Trading: An Overview of Queensland Water Markets
Water reforms in Queensland have made it possible for water users to buy water to expand their operations and sell water they do not need. The water trading market has been introduced to address the increasing competition for water without compromising the sustainable allocation and use of the state's water resources. Water trading raises awareness of the value of water, helps to promote efficiency and innovation in water use, and encourages the development of productive enterprises. It is also an effective means of reallocating water on a voluntary basis.
