Hydrological disasters pose significant threats worldwide, often resulting in extensive damage to society and the environment. Conventional risk mitigation approaches often overlook complex human-water system interactions, leading to adverse socio-hydrological phenomena, such as paradoxical dynamics and unintended consequences. One notable phenomenon is the safe development paradox (SDP), wherein risk reduction efforts paradoxically increase vulnerability in the long run. Despite theoretical progress, empirical investigations of these phenomena remain fragmented. In this systematic review spanning 2001 to 2023, we analysed 94 studies to synthesize research in this field. Our analysis revealed that most studies provided evidence confirming the existence of the SDP and its sub-phenomena, the levee effect. While quantitative methods (e.g. spatial analysis) are prevalent, a limited number of articles employ qualitative and mixed-methods approaches to investigate these phenomena. Studies often focus on the exposure of communities to hydrological risks, but they fall short of capturing other critical dimensions, such as vulnerability and the psychological effects of feeling safe. A more holistic assessment of the SDP should thus include aspects such as preparedness, vulnerability, and risk perception. This holistic approach would enable a better understanding of the diversity of scenarios where the SDP can manifest, providing policymakers with essential information to prevent adverse effects.

The Montevideo Metropolis, where more than half of Uruguay's population resides, is supplied with water from the Santa Lucía River (SLR), which faces increasing problems of water quality and quantity. In 2020, in the context of national government political changes, a hydraulic project (called Neptuno) involving the construction of a purification plant using water from the Río de la Plata estuary (close to the SLR basin), was proposed by a consortium of private companies. The aim of this paper is to analyze the arguments to support and oppose the Neptuno Project, as well as the hydrosocial transformations promoted by it in the SLR basin, including the scalar strategies adopted. Primary and secondary data (interviews, participant observation, and document analysis) were triangulated. Coalitions pro and against the greater involvement of the private sector with water supply services were identified. Our research shows that diverse perspectives of water security, related to different hydrosocial projects, reflect opposed interests and divergent objectives in a context of disputes within asymmetrical power relationships. This has been reactivating the coalition of the historic conflict against the privatization processes that preceded the constitutional reform in Uruguay in 2004. This coalition, against the Neptuno project, carried out a “jump scale,” taking the issue from the local to the national scale.
