NAILSMA delivered five projects under the NAWFA Cultural and Social Program under the guidance and advice of the NAILSMA Indigenous Water Policy Group (IWPG).

Capturing Indigenous Knowledge in Water Management Processes – Wudjuli Lagoon Case Study, Ngukurr, NT, NAILSMA Knowledge Series 007/12, records the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge with western planning in regard to a larger enterprise development project, and presents key barriers to that integration.


It was one of five projects NAILSMA delivered under the NAWFA Cultural and Social Program under the guidance and advice of theNAILSMA IWPG.

Aboriginal water values and management in northern Australia - YouTube

From www.youtube.com - February 16, 2014 11:16 AM

As part of the Tropical Rivers and Coastal Knowledge (TRaCK) research program, we documented and quantified Aboriginal social and economic values of aquatic resources and identified their flow links in the first study of its kind in Australia. The research was conducted over three years (2008-2010) in two tropical river catchments—the Daly River in the Northern Territory and the Fitzroy River in Western Australia—where water planners needed information on Aboriginal people's water requirements.

Narrated by traditional owner, Patricia Marrfurra McTaggart, this video focuses on the research conducted in the Daly River catchment.

Kim Flintoff's insight:

Different ways of understanding water management might be the solution to the global water crisis.  Studemts agae 11-17 can play Eco Challenge and test their understanding.

Our Water Our Country An information manual for Aboriginal people and communities about the water reform process


The Aboriginal Water Initiative program aims to improve Aboriginal involvement and representation in water planning and management within NSW. The program allows the NSW Office of Water to monitor the success of water sharing plans in meeting their statutory requirements for Aboriginal specific performance indicators including:

  • providing water for Native Title rights
  • recognising spiritual, social, customary and economic values of water to Aboriginal people
Kim Flintoff's insight:

Indigenous perspectives are very often overlooked in water management strategies -  In some cases in Australia Indigenous  communities do have pathways to be heard.
