Even religious studies of Buddhist hydrosocial thought are now available (Walters et al 2020). Second, it indexes hydrosocial scholarship to broader concerns with the 'production of nature' (Harvey 1996;Smith 2008).…”

Over recent decades, hydrosocial scholarship focusing on the plural, often contested relations of waters and societies has advanced significantly. This article reviews hydrosocial scholarship in three steps that are contextualized by geography's long-standing efforts to use water to ‘think geography’. The article begins by revisiting critiques of the hydrological cycle as circulating free of anthropogenic forces and wholly on the ‘nature’ side of the society/nature dualism. We consider how this critique shapes engagement with other fields where human–water relations are crucial, such as socio-hydrology and those focused on climate change. The article then examines the extension of hydrosocial scholarship from critiques of the hydrological cycle to its use in explaining social spaces, such as territory, urban processes and citizenship. Finally, we consider how hydrosocial scholarship from Black, Indigenous and anti-colonial praxis challenges epistemologies and ontologies that, even in their critiques, recentre Eurocentric notions of water.

Exploring the notion of hydrosocial territories in the light of multiple ontologies gives us the possibility, to develop an analysis that concentrates on how water is enacted, related, and given substance, meaning and significance as a grounded assemblage by its territorial actors (e.g., Blanchon et al, 2020;Jaramillo, 2020;Keough and Saidou, 2021;Marks, 2019;Roca-Servat and Palacio Ocando, 2019;Seemann, 2016;Valladares and Boelens, 2019;Vos et al, 2020;Walters et al, 2020;Zeitoun et al, 2016;Vos et al, 2019). In this specific case, we will focus on how Subtanjalla farmers understand and enact irrigation water as a socio-natural and intrinsically territorial assemblage that binds different material and immaterial elements to each other across time and space.…”
