“…The energy and ideas that the authors, among them many early career scholars, bring to the field is encouraging. The papers here, along with recent work by these authors and others including Nubia Beray‐Armond (2022), Tianna Bruno (2022), Joel Correia (2022), and Cleo Wölfle‐Hazard (2022), demonstrate CPG's strength in analyzing complex eco‐social systems with attention to power relations and politics in both the environmental sciences and our field sites. Almost a decade after the publication of the initial CPG intervention piece, CPG is expanding into new topics (e.g., predator reintroduction, urban climatology), new methodologies (e.g., dendroprovenancing, network analysis), and new conversations with allied fields (e.g., Black Geographies, Indigenous Geographies, Queer Ecologies).…”

In 2014, an intervention paper was published in The Canadian Geographer/Le Géographe canadien, calling for greater integration of physical and critical human geography, through an intellectual practice termed critical physical geography (Lave et al., 2014). The 2014 piece took shape following several years of formal and informal conversations among its 19 authors at conference panels, colloquium talks, in hallways, over coffee, and at bathroom sinks. They argued that practicing critical physical geography (CPG) is necessary given the eco-social hybridity of our world. Lave et al. (2014, p. 2) wrote: "It is increasingly impractical to separate analysis of natural and social systems: socio-biophysical landscapes are as much the product of unequal power relations, histories of colonialism, and racial and gender disparities as they are of hydrology, ecology, and climate change." The piece then asked: "What are the opportunities for a more critical physical geography and a more physical critical human geography? What new research, teaching, and political practices can we build on a foundation of subaltern studies, biogeography, political-

“…As a corollary, these disciplines generally focus on characterizing heterogeneities within that system (Figure 2a, positive y‐axis). For example, the political ecology or water justice frameworks within CG predominantly focus on describing and addressing inequities and asymmetrical power dynamics within a hydrosocial continuum (Boelens et al, 2022; Correia, 2022; Hommes et al, 2018; Ranganathan & Balazs, 2015). Similarly, EE and PG describe heterogeneities and patterns in terms of resources and fluxes (e.g., water, energy, money, power, or people), either across the integrated CHWS system or across the physical space.…”

Mapping the landscape of water and society research: Promising combinations of compatible and complementary disciplines

Coupled human‐water systems (CHWS) are diverse and have been studied across a wide variety of disciplines. Integrating multiple disciplinary perspectives on CHWS provides a comprehensive and actionable understanding of these complex systems. While interdisciplinary integration has often remained elusive, specific combinations of disciplines might be comparably easier to integrate (compatible), and/or their combination might be particularly likely to uncover previously unobtainable insights (complementary). This paper systematically identifies such promising combinations by mapping disciplines along a common set of topical, philosophical, and methodological dimensions. It also identifies key challenges and lessons for multidisciplinary research teams seeking to integrate highly promising (complementary) but poorly compatible disciplines. Applied to eight disciplines that span the environmental physical sciences and the quantitative and qualitative social sciences, we found that promising combinations of disciplines identified by the typology broadly reproduce patterns of recent interdisciplinary collaborative research revealed by a bibliometric analysis. We also found that some disciplines are centrally located within the typology by being compatible and complementary to multiple other disciplines along distinct dimensions. This points to the potential for these disciplines to act as catalysts for wider interdisciplinary integration.This article is categorized under: Engineering Water > Methods Human Water > Methods Science of Water > Methods

“…In this way, human efforts to resist the material dispossessions of new water infrastructure rely on the materiality of that very infrastructure (see also Ranganathan, 2014a; Ranganathan, 2014b). For instance, in a case from South America's Chaco region, Correia (2022) demonstrated how indigenous Enxet and Sanapan communities have and continue to be subject to but also resist colonial attempts to alter the waterscape and dispossess indigenous peoples of water via settler water infrastructures.…”

Largescale “big” water infrastructure is once again at the forefront of the global developmentalist agenda and is receiving attendant scholarly attention. Given this parallel growth, now is time to take stock of current scholarly contributions and explore opportunities for future research. In this paper, I review recent developments and insights gained from research on big water infrastructure, and water infrastructure studies, generally, to highlight six key threads of current scholarship. These include the production of big water infrastructure as: (1) a temporal process embedded in colonialism and ecological modernization; (2) infused with infrastructural knowledges, practices and subjectivities; (3) a spatial‐geopolitical process; (4) subject to infrastructural and environmental material characteristics and capacities; (5) producing uneven development and enabling accumulation by dispossession; and (6) a contested process of differentiated socio‐material resistance. In reviewing this literature, I argue that these six research strands form key analytic considerations that could be employed by others studying the nexus between water development, political ecological change, and infrastructure. Before concluding, in the final section of the paper I present additional and ongoing future research directions including big water infrastructure as it intersects with socially differentiated human intimacy and embodiment, indigenous and racialized forms of dispossession, and financialization.
