Description
Water: A Critical Introduction by Katie Meehan, Naho Mirumachi, Alex Loftus and Majed Akhter is an in-depth examination of our most pressing water-related challenges. This textbook reveals how social practices and geometries of power shape the hydrosocial cycle, often hidden in mainstream accounts of water. The authors combine first-hand research with headline case studies to explore issues like water scarcity, floods, global water governance, legal conflicts, human rights, potable water provision, health, and the water-food-energy nexus. Spanning five centuries, this comprehensive volume reflects on how imperial expansion has shaped hydrosocial relations in different regions. With clear and compelling arguments supported by original research and a synthesis of critical research on major water problems, Water: A Critical Introduction is an essential resource for educators and those seeking to understand the complex relationships between power, knowledge, and scarcity in the context of water use.
