It is increasingly controversial in direct proportion to its scarcity, demand, neglect, and commodification. There is no place on the planet where water is not, or will not be, of critical concern.Signs of Water brings together scholars and experts from five continents in an interdisciplinary exploration of the theoretical approaches, social and political issues, and anthropogenic hazards surrounding water in the twenty-first century. From the kitchen taps of Detroit, Michigan to the water-harvesting infrastructure of Tokyo, from the Upper Xingu Basin of Brazil to the Sunda Deep of the Java Trench, these essays flow through time and place to uncover the many issues surrounding water today.Asking key theoretical questions, exposing threats to vital water systems, and proposing paths forward, Signs of Water brims with histories, ontologies, and political struggles. Bringing together local experiences to tell a global story, it centers water as history, as politics, and as a human right. 410 0$aArts in action. 606 $aWater 606 $aWater conservation 606 $aEnvironmental protection 610 $aDetroit. 610 $aWater. 610 $aclimate security. 610 $acommunity based natural resource management. 610 $acultural diversity. 610 $aenvironmental degradation. 610 $aenvironmental justice. 610 $afuture of water. 610 $aglobal water systems. 610 $ahuman rights. 610 $aindigenous water access. 610 $alakes. 610 $aoceans. 610 $aplant healing. 610 $apolitics of water. 610 $aponds. 610 $apublic policy. 610 $arace and water. 610 $arain. 610 $arivers. 610 $asocial inequality. 610 $awater access. 610 $awater law. 610 $awater policy. 610 $awater pollution. 610 $awater rights. 610 $awater security. 610 $awater systems. 615 0$aWater. 615 0$aWater conservation. 615 0$aEnvironmental protection. 676 $a553.7 702 $aBoschman$b Robert$f1961- 702 $aJakubec$b Sonya L. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910585980803321 996 $aSigns of water$92904344 997 $aUNINA
