Abstract
This report draws on existing literature to develop an understanding of the conditions under which a market would be an effective tool for sharing bulk urban water, and based on this, the implications for the outcomes of a water market for sharing water across the south central region. It seeks to answer the following key questions:
• Do the current arrangements for supplying and delivering water in the south central region provide the necessary pre-conditions for effective water sharing using a bulk urban water market?
• What are the implications for using a bulk urban water market to share water across the south central region?
Future components of this work will address comparative experiences of bulk urban water markets, and analyse how a bulk urban water market would interact with the current pricing and regulatory framework for urban water in the south central region.

Future components of this work will address comparative experiences of bulk urban water markets, and analyse how a bulk urban water market would interact with the current pricing and regulatory framework for urban water in the south central region.
