After documenting the construction of major water infrastructure across the Murray–Darling Basin (MDB) in the 20th century, it meticulously examines the state of Australia’s major food bowl.

It then tracks the massive shakeup of water policy during the Millennium Drought and the subsequent Murray–Darling Basin Plan, which is now under review. This is Caught In The Current.
