Do rivers need rights? Comparing legal structures for river regulation in New Zealand, Australia and ChileAbstract
In this article we consider what giving rivers ‘legal personality’ might add to existing institutional options for environmental water regulation. We examine this question by studying the regulatory approach adopted for the Whanganui River in New Zealand, which is a ‘legal person’, alongside other river management entities in Chile (Water Monitoring Boards) and Australia (Victorian Environmental Water Holder), which do not grant legal personality to river.
