This paper contributes to the policy agenda of increasing Indigenous water rights by developing a method that quantifies and enables spatially explicit comparison of Indigenous-held water within and across Murray-Darling Basin jurisdictions. We construct baselines for (i) Indigenous population (ii) Indigenous holdings of surface water entitlements, and (iii) Indigenous holdings of groundwater entitlements across water management units in the Basin. We estimate that Indigenous surface water holdings constitute no more than 0.17\% of the equivalent permitted take across the entire Basin. Groundwater entitlements held by Indigenous entities constitute 0.02\% of all available groundwater. The approximate market value of these water entitlements is A{\textbackslash}19.2 million in 2015–16 terms, which equates to 0.12\% of the total {\textbackslash}16.5 billion market value. In contrast, 5.3\% of the Murray-Darling Basin population is Indigenous, a proportion that is rapidly increasing. The production of estimates of this type, and Indigenous control of the data needed to generate them, are first steps in a reparations process that can contribute towards Indigenous water justice.}, number = {2}, urldate = {2023-05-09}, journal = {Australasian Journal of Water Resources}, author = {Hartwig, Lana D and Markham, Francis and Jackson, Sue}, month = jul, year = {2021}, note = {Publisher: Taylor \& Francis \_eprint: https://doi.org/10.1080/13241583.2021.1970094}, keywords = {Urban planning}, pages = {98--110}, } @article{hartwig_water_2021, title = {Water colonialism and {Indigenous} water justice in south-eastern {Australia}}, volume = {38}, url = {https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/07900627.2020.1868980}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1080/07900627.2020.1868980}, number = {1}, journal = {International Journal of Water Resources Development}, author = {Hartwig, Lana D. and Jackson, Sue and Markham, Francis and Osborne, Natalie}, year = {2021}, note = {ZSCC: 0000003 Publisher: Taylor \& Francis}, keywords = {Urban planning}, pages = {30--63}, }
