“…To manage this common pool resource, effective water governance must consider its social and environmental aspects as coupled , Hornbeck and Keskin 2014. Governance structures that engage with coupled systems tend to demonstrate core characteristics of adaptability, capacity for social learning, sectoral integration, and public participation (Pahl-Wostl 2007, Huitema et al 2009, Tan et al 2012. Pahl-Wostl (2009) describes governance structures that move toward such characteristics as undergoing "triple-loop learning," which is paradigmatic change that extends beyond refining existing actions (single-loop learning) and mere reframing of the problems and goals of water governance (double-loop learning).…”

“…Collaborators must have a certain parity of power in order for genuine collaboration to function (see Fung & Wright, 2003), although as noted above mere decentralisation is not itself sufficient (Lane, 2003). These preconditions have been considered highly relevant to collaboration in NRM (see generally Tan et al, 2012;Whelan & Oliver, 2003).…”

“…While Aboriginal people contributed to the development of Minister's Plans through a dedicated Aboriginal unit within the NSW water agency (which existed from 2012 to 2016) [88], overall, the reliance on Minister's Plans limits opportunities for Aboriginal peoples, as well as the general public, to provide sustained and comprehensive input. This is compared to planning processes that directly involve multiple stakeholders and contain opportunities to deliberate over water-use scenarios and impacts while considering trade-offs amongst competing uses [89].…”

Abstract:The passage of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) brought with it much anticipation-though in reality, quite limited means-for recognizing and protecting Aboriginal peoples' rights to land and water across Australia. A further decade passed before national and State water policy acknowledged Aboriginal water rights and interests. In 2015, the native title rights of the Barkandji Aboriginal People in the Australian State of New South Wales (NSW) were recognized after an eighteen-year legal case. This legal recognition represents a significant outcome for the Barkandji People because water and, more specifically, the Darling River, or Barka, is central to their existence. However, the Barkandji confront ongoing struggles to have their common law rights recognized and accommodated within Australian water governance regimes. Informed by literature relating to the politics of recognition, we examine the outcomes of government attempts at Indigenous recognition through four Australian water regimes: national water policy; native title law; NSW water legislation; and NSW water allocation planning. Drawing from the Barkandji's experiences in engaging with water regimes, we analyze and characterize the outcomes of these recognition attempts broadly as 'misrecognition' and 'non-recognition', and describe the associated implications for Aboriginal peoples. These manifestations of colonial power relations, whether intended or not, undermine the legitimacy of state water regimes because they fail to generate recognition of, and respect for, Aboriginal water rights and to redress historical legacies of exclusion and discrimination in access to water.
