Water is the essential resource of the 21st century where innovative water management strategies are needed to improve water security. This paper examines three case studies that exemplify the global water crisis, situated in rapidly urbanizing watersheds: Nairobi River Basin, Kenya; Citarum River Basin, Indonesia; and Addis Ababa River Basin, Ethiopia. Each of these watersheds are implementing large-scale water management strategies inclusive of local communities and regional governments to address water quality and waste management issues. The hydrosocial cycle (Linton, 2010) provides a framework to investigate the social, technical and physical aspects of water flows. Using the hydrosocial cycle as an organizing framework, these watersheds are examined to highlight how water security underpins water justice. The issues of gender and inequity are often overlooked in larger policy, development, and infrastructure discussions where technical requirements, restoration management, and engineering solutions obscure power inequities. Projects are compared to assess the implementation of the hydrosocial cycle through a discussion of social power and structure, technology and infrastructure, and the materiality of water in each location. This comparison reveals a dependence on large-scale technical projects with limited community engagement, and a need for science-based river restoration management. Recommendations are provided to improve and address holistic water management.

快速城市化流域中的水社会循环

水是21世纪不可或缺的资源,需要创新的水管理策略来改善水安全。本文研究了三个案例研究,这些案例例证了位于迅速城市化的集水区的全球水危机:肯尼亚内罗毕流域;肯尼亚。印度尼西亚Citarum流域;埃塞俄比亚的亚的斯亚贝巴河流域。这些流域中的每一个都在实施大规模的水管理战略,包括地方社区和地区政府在内,以解决水质和废物管理问题。水社会循环(林顿,2010年)提供了一个框架来研究水流的社会,技术和物理方面。使用水社会循环作为组织框架,对这些流域进行了研究,以强调水安全如何支撑水正义。在较大的政策,发展和基础设施讨论中,性别和不平等问题经常被忽视,在这些讨论中,技术要求,恢复管理和工程解决方案掩盖了权力不平等。通过讨论社会力量和结构,技术和基础设施以及每个位置的水的物质性,对项目进行比较以评估水社会循环的实施。这种比较表明,在社区参与有限的情况下,它依赖于大型技术项目,并且需要基于科学的河流恢复管理。提供了改善和解决整体水管理的建议。通过讨论社会力量和结构,技术和基础设施以及每个位置的水的物质性,对项目进行比较以评估水社会循环的实施。这种比较表明,在社区参与有限的情况下,它依赖于大型技术项目,并且需要基于科学的河流恢复管理。提供了改善和解决整体水管理的建议。通过讨论社会力量和结构,技术和基础设施以及每个位置的水的物质性,对项目进行比较以评估水社会循环的实施。这种比较表明,在社区参与有限的情况下,它依赖于大型技术项目,并且需要基于科学的河流恢复管理。提供了改善和解决整体水管理的建议。
