I am not familiar enough with the Australian situation to know the market well enough. In the UK its clear that private companies are rewarded for poor stewardship of resources, so i am not sure what market solution you have in mind. Great question Sean.

"Agriculture" is a broad expression - we probably shouldn't be growing rice and cotton in the Murray-Darling Basin (up in the Ord region perhaps), and we shouldn't be building paper pulp mills in premium wine-growing districts (Limestone Coast in South Aus). Water is still not priced at its value, so we don't value it enough. We are also still looking at the supply-side (desalination, recycling) and not looking hard enough at the demand-side.
