Water is a scarce resource around the world, but particularly in dryland regions of Australia where droughts and the impact of climate change have dramatically reduced water availability. For communities living in dryland areas, and for global food security, this is a critical issue.
This book contains case studies of innovative applied research for adaptive water management in the dryland regions of Australia. Each of these studies tells a story of an approach to adaptive water management that not only provides solutions to the water scarcity challenges in dryland areas, but also helps sustainability of regional communities around this issue.

CLIMATE CHANGE IN REGIONAL AUSTRALIA
Social Learning and Adaptation.Edited by J Martin, M Rogers and C Winter
In this book are case studies of community level approaches to climate change mitigation and adaptation covering communities and governance, farming communities, economics and water. The cases are based on research being undertaken across Australian communities and show how a social learning approach can bring about fundamental change with lasting impacts at the local level.
The salience of the local approach empowers communities, recognising that they are unique and that they can take action to respond. It is essential for their survival that they do so. If ever there is a time for governments to decentralise action, it is now.

THE RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION OF VICE-CHANCELLORS FOR AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITIES
by Bernard O’Meara and Stanley Petzall
This book examines the processes which are used to recruit and select Vice-Chancellors for Australian universities. While previous research has identified demographic and incumbency patterns, social characteristics and the legal basis of the roles of Australian VC’s, the actual processes of recruitment and selection of these individuals has not previously been researched in any depth.
As such, this study is new and ground-breaking. A regional and a metropolitan university are used as case studies to show parallels between recruitment and selection in universities and in the private sector.
