Water Governance in Bolivia Cochabamba since the Water War

Water Governance in Bolivia Cochabamba since the Water War

This book examines water remunicipalization in Cochabamba since the Water War offering innovative methodological and theoretical conceptualizations of what it means to be public helping to move debates on water services beyond the paralyzing binary of public versus private with a focus on the contested terrain of community engagement around water services. The Cochabamba Water War of 2000 brought together city residents of all stripes to mobilize against water privatization and gain back public control of the city’s water utility. This event catapulted anti-privatization movements around the world but two decades later the water movement’s vision of democratic water provision remains largely unfulfilled and the city suffers from a protracted water crisis. Building a typology of participation this book explores the difficulty in rebuilding a strong public water service in Cochabamba by analyzing the different and often incompatible understandings and interpretations of social control and public participation. Applying this framework to the Bolivian context and more specifically to the water and sanitation sector in Cochabamba the book uncovers whose interests are served and which groups are included or excluded from decision-making and access to water. This exercise illustrates how in their implementation participatory practices are not linear and can be distorted or appropriated towards different ends. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of water governance natural resource management public policy social movements and Latin American studies. | Water Governance in Bolivia Cochabamba since the Water War

Water Infrastructure

Water Infrastructure

Water infrastructure is an essential element in water management. Together with institutions policies and regulation it provides basic services to growing populations especially in developing countries where much of the growth is taking place. In the Asia-Pacific region for instance populations are growing not only in size but also in affluence straining further the existing infrastructure and demanding urgently the development of a new one. While 79% of total water use in Asia occurs in agriculture the fastest increases in demand are emanating from industry and from urban areas. This trend is a natural consequence of the fastest industrialization and urbanization process in history. By 2030 more than 55% of Asia’s population will live in urban areas an increase of 1. 1 billion people. Nevertheless water infrastructure is of concern not only in the global South but also in the North where much of the drinking-water infrastructure needs upgrading or replacement a significant undertaking as infrastructure is more than a hundred years old in many cases. The American Water Works Association estimates that changing all of the water pipes in the United States would cost more than USD 1 trillion. In this book in-depth case studies on water infrastructure challenges and policy solutions are presented from different parts of the world. This book was published as a special issue of the International Journal of Water Resources Development.

Digital Water Enabling a More Resilient Secure and Equitable Water Future

Digital Water Enabling a More Resilient Secure and Equitable Water Future

This book shows how digital technologies are transforming how we locate manage treat distribute and use water. Water resources are under stress from over-allocation increased demand pollution climate change and outdated public policies. Historical approaches to delivering water for human consumption industrial production agriculture power generation and ecosystems are no longer adequate to meet demands. As a result we need to vastly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our public and private sector processes in water management. The author describes recent advances in data acquisition (e. g. satellite imagery drones and on-the-ground sensors and smart meters) big data analytics artificial intelligence and blockchain which provide new tools to meet needs in both developing and developed economies. For example a digital water technology portfolio brings the value of real-time system-wide monitoring – and response – within the capability of water providers of all sizes and sophistication. As such digital water promises to increase the long-term value of water resource assets while assisting in compliance with regulations and helping respond to the demands of population growth and evolving natural and business ecosystems. Including many practical examples the author concludes that digital and smart water technologies will not only better manage water assets but also enable the public sector to provide universal access to safe drinking water the private sector to continue to grow and ecosystems to thrive. | Digital Water Enabling a More Resilient Secure and Equitable Water Future

Water and Sacred Architecture

Water and Sacred Architecture

This edited book examines architectural representations that tie water as a physical and symbolic property with the sacred. The discussion centers on two levels of this relationship: how water influenced the sacredness of buildings across history and different religions; and how sacred architecture expressed the spiritual meaning of water. The volume deliberately offers original material on various unique contextual and design aspects of water and sacred architecture rather than an attempt to produce a historic chronological analysis on the topic or focusing on a specific geographical region. As such this unique volume adds a new dimension to the study of sacred architecture. The book’s chapters are compiled by a stellar group of scholars and practitioners from the US Canada Europe Asia and Africa. It addresses major aspects of water in religious buildings such as rituals pilgrimage water as a cultural material and place-making hydro systems modern practices environmental considerations the contribution of water to transforming secular into sacred and future digital/cyber context of water and sacredness. All chapters are based on original archival studies historical documents and field visits to the sites and buildings. These examinations show water as an expression of architectural design its materiality and its spiritual values. The book will be of interest to architects historians environmentalists archaeologists religious scholars and preservationists.

Decolonization Development and Knowledge in Africa Turning Over a New Leaf

Decolonization Development and Knowledge in Africa Turning Over a New Leaf

This provocative book is anchored on the insurgent and resurgent spirit of decolonization of the twenty-first century. The author calls upon Africa to turn over a new leaf in the domains of politics economy and knowledge as it frees itself from imperial global designs and global coloniality. With a focus on Africa and its Diaspora the author calls for a radical turning over of a new leaf predicated on decolonial turn and epistemic freedom. The key themes subjected to decolonial analysis include: (1) decolonization/decoloniality – articulating the meaning and contribution of the decolonial turn; (2) subjectivity/identity – examining the problem of Blackness (identity) as external and internal invention; (3) the Bandung spirit of decolonization as an embodiment of resistance and possibilities development and self-improvement; (4) development and self-improvement – of African political economy as entangled in the colonial matrix of power and the African Renaissance as weakened by undecolonized political and economic thought; and (5) knowledge – the role of African humanities in the struggle for epistemic freedom. This groundbreaking volume opens the intellectual canvas on the challenges and possibilities of African futures.
