Resumo

A bacia hidrográfica de Murray-Darling, localizada no sudeste da Austrália, compreende 14% do território Australiano. O presente artigo examina os discursos ambientais que informaram a regulamentação ambiental da Bacia nos últimos 120 anos. Contrariando práticas indígenas locais, os discursos ambientais predominantes nos últimos 120 anos destacam a desconexão entre os seres humanos e seu meio ambiente. Enquanto o Desenvolvimento Ecologicamente Sustentável encontra-se entre os objetos da Lei Federal da Água de 2007, é evidente a prevalência do racionalismo econômico na regulamentação da bacia hidrográfica por meio da comercialização dos direitos da água.
