      abstract = {As Australia begins to implement the National Water  Initiative, there are lessons to be
learned from past  experience in rural adjustment and rural assistance  schemes. The
experience is rich and the messages  powerful.
Government intervention in the process of  adjustment and change can impede, facilitate
or expedite  adjustment.
To maximise the opportunities arising from  water reform, several important lessons can
be identified.  The role of autonomous adjustment processes in generating  individual and
community wealth is vital.
A portfolio of  approaches to securing additional water for the environment  through the
market place are discussed. Opportunities exist  to use existing processes to manage
environmental impacts,  facilitate water trading and target any adjustment  assistance.},
