Using a method articulated in Research for social workers: an introduction to methods (Alston, 2003), during August and September 2009, Margaret Alston and Kerri Whittenbury conducted 3 focus groups where the 30 participants were women from irrigation areas and small communities in the Murray-Darling Basin system area talking about the social impacts of declining water. Transcripts of the recordings were analysed and informed the workshop agenda for the national forum which was attended by over 100 women from all parts of Australia. The dataset also includes 6 PowerPoint presentations from guest speakers at the Forum. The data has also informed 10 keynote addresses and was used by Margaret Alston in her virtual seminar, "Gender and Climate Change: Crisis in Australia's Foodbowl–The Murray-Darling Basin" during a Conference at Pennsylvania State University, Integrating Development and Climate Change Ethics.

Significance statement

Focus group outcomes from the data went into the Forum's workshop recommendations which were used by the Australian delegation attending the Climate Conference in Copenhagen in December 2009. The data adds a largely under-researched but critical dimension to the social impacts of severe water restrictions and how they impact at national level on the ability of Australia to ensure ongoing food security.
