%X The report begins with a  discussion of methodology before turning to a description of the region’s water resources. The focus is on  three linked broad perspectives on water: a historical analysis of the political economy of water; a sectoral  analysis of water in the regional ‘hybrid’ economy; and a spatial analysis of water governance in Maningrida  and the hinterland. These three perspectives are combined in a discussion about cross-cultural contestation  over water values and property rights, and early steps that might be taken to ameliorate such contestation  are outlined.
