National Water Policy

That water access entitlements be more clearly specified;
That water access entitlements be perpetual;
That water access entitlements be separated from land title;
That constraints on water trade within and between regions and states be minimised;
That where governments require water for environmental or other purposes they acquire it on the open market and pay fair market rates for it; and
That before any changes to the way that water is managed are made that appropriate consideration be given to the environmental and social impacts at the regional level.
