Multiple public benefits are derived from aquatic systems – these need to be clearly and comprehensively recognised and included in water planning so sustainable water extraction regimes are achieved and unintended consequences of water allocation avoided. The National Water Initiative (COAB, 2004) calls for ‘planning processes in which there is adequate opportunity for productive, environmental and other public benefit considerations to be identified and considered in an opene and transparent way’ (Clause 25 iii). This research aims to help water planners identify, describe, communicate and value the broader public benefits of aquatic systems. A broader framing of aquatic systems via an ecosystem services approach makes the links between aquatic systems and people’s well-being more explicit. The approach demonstrates the value of environmental water in achieving social and economic outcomes, as well as environmental outcomes, by highlighting the broad range of services supplied by aquatic systems. The report complements existing water allocation planning practices, and provides water planners with ideas, tools and examples. This research was commissioned by the National Water Commission and is part of a series of papers on key water issues. |

This research was undertaken at the nexus of the fields of water planning and ecosystem services science. The context was a need identified by the Australian National Water Commission to better address the benefits that aquatic ecosystems provide to people. The research aimed to develop an innovative framework based on ecosystem services that could supplement statutory water planning in Australia. To the authors’ knowledge this was the first study of its kind and as such has received attention from both Australian water planning practitioners and international scholars. |
