With overseas interests holding 10 per cent of water licences in our largest agricultural region, the Murray-Darling Basin, and overseas investors owning Australian water licences valued at many millions of dollars, who is controlling our water? Water Barons: Money, Politics and Control of Water in Australia speaks to all of us who are interested in our most precious resource.
