This collaborative, interdisciplinary project examines contested understandings of and relations with water along the Cudgegong and Goulburn Rivers in NSW, Asutralia. Through a focus on water cultures this project engages with Indigenous and non-Indigenous understandings, values and practices associated with water. We consider how different uses and values of water influence social-ecological resilience and justice of relevance to future water management.
