This is Imogen Frawley's PhD Confirmation of Candidature presentation. 

Water management interventions can have unintended consequences, often exacerbating the very risks they aim to manage and generating new risks. This study will combine qualitative and quantitative modelling to increase understanding of dynamic feedbacks between human and water systems, with particular focus on the ways in which water management interventions, both formal and informal, reshape risks to shared water resources. Using the Murray–Darling Basin as a case study, the aim is to develop generalisable insights about the evolution of risk dynamics within complex sociohydrological systems, and to explore possible management options to create change.
