Caught in the Current is an essential and timely read for the farm sector, policymakers, water authorities and students of environmental and agricultural science. It explores growing concerns around Australia’s declining food security and the real impact on the cost of living.

Blending sharp analysis with a compelling historical narrative, the book traces a century of federal and state decisions in water policy, Caught in the Current examines how Australia once led the world in large-scale basin management, and why that success has since been undone.
