A focused work of environmental and regional non-fiction, In This Our Necessity: A Book On Water In South-Eastern Australia presents a thorough examination of water — its sources, management, and critical importance — across one of Australia's most ecologically and agriculturally significant regions. Davis argues that water is not merely a resource but an existential necessity, weaving together geography, history, and policy to illustrate how communities and landscapes in south-eastern Australia have been shaped by its presence and scarcity. Written with a measured, authoritative tone, the work details the complex interplay between natural water systems and human demands, from irrigation and farming to urban supply and environmental conservation. It stands as an essential reference for anyone seeking to understand the deep relationship between water governance and the long-term sustainability of life in this part of the continent.
