It will then apply these findings to the impact the double bind of modernity has had on the environment and the exploitation of earth's natural resources.  This will be done by focusing on the development of irrigation systems in Northern Victoria where capitalistic values were applied to agricultural practices and land utilisation.  These practices together with the drought have contributed to the situation today where farmers will begin the 2009/2010 irrigation season on a zero allocation for the third year in a row due to a lack of water resources and inflows into the major water catchments.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
