Collection of Water Policy and Law Books
The Centre and the University Library together created a collection of Australian and International water policy, water law books and reports. These have been sourced by donations from present and former students , individuals from State and the Federal Public Service, other national organisations and international organisations. The collection is also supported by funding from the Division of Business and through the Chief Librarian, Mrs Helen Livingstone. Recently the library benchmarked this collection and stated that it is one of the best in the world and its books are borrowed by international and national researchers. Each donation is acknowledged by a commissioned book plate. The Centre's Library Book Plate (PDF 17kb).
