Australian Indigenous Water Commission

The Australian Indigenous Water Commission, or National Water Commission, was a government agency that managed water resources and supported sustainable water use across Australia. It aimed to ensure fair access to water for Indigenous communities, support water policy development, and promote efficient and environmentally sound management of water supplies. By working with Indigenous groups and other stakeholders, it sought to balance ecological needs, economic interests, and cultural values related to water, particularly in regions where Indigenous Australians have a deep cultural and spiritual connection to waterways.
