First Nations communities along the Murray-Darling Basin have developed a new concept of water management called ‘cultural flows’ that will not only restore life to Country but also justice to First Nations communities.
Cultural flows return water and its rights and management to Traditional Owners to improve the spiritual, cultural, natural, environmental, social and economic conditions of their Nations.
A model is being established by Tati Tati Elders that will identify how to turn the concept of cultural flows into a practical reality. They hope that this model can return healthy flows to Tati Tati Country and also provide a template for other First Nations communities seeking water justice.
