Indigenous rights in water in northern Australia

NAILSMA presents its latest publication 'Indigenous Rights in Water in Northern Australia'. This publication was delivered by Michael O’Donnell, Barrister-at-Law and produced through NAILSMA's collaboration with the Tropical Rivers and Coastal Knowledge (TRaCK) research consortium.

As part of NAILSMA's role in this consortium, NAILSMA managed Theme 6 – “ Sustainable Enterprises, which consisted of two foundational projects and three case studies. A very important aspect of this work was to conduct a comprehensive analysis of present law and associated processes in northern Australia and its applicability with native title and other Indigenous interests in water.

NAILSMA hopes that its readers finds this piece of work useful to your purposes when considering the rights of Indigenous people, not only across the north, but across Australia, in all areas relating to water management.
