Abstract: This paper introduces the water trading framework in Victoria, Australia, mainly focusing on temporary water trading between farmers. It starts from the legal background of water allocation to the necessary conditions for a water market to form and operate. The study analyzes one of the very popular online water trading-WATERMOVE in Australia. The result from WATERMOVE is briefly discussed. The legal framework of water rights and the simple price formation mechanism are worth borrowing for water trading to prosper in our country.
