Abstract

Large-scale water transfer projects (LWTPs) have been promoted to address rising water demands around the world. Scholars have been examining various impacts of LWTPs for decades; however, there is limited research that systematically examines the literature and synthesizes impacts and lessons learned from LWTPs. By conducting a systematic literature review, we assess the impacts of LWTP implementation on communities followed by the social, political, and economic factors that shape the implementation of LWTPs. Our review indicates that LWTPs can threaten livelihood strategies, jeopardize the sustainability of traditional cultures, and disrupt communities through resettlement. These impacts are shaped by the use of water as a political mechanism, the prioritization of economic interests, and unequal participation of stakeholders. Our review goes beyond individual studies of LWTPs to highlight the importance of using an environmental justice framework to guide LWTP assessments so that these assessments can address unique contexts of individual LWTPs.

评估大型调水项目对社区的影响:从系统文献回顾中吸取的教训

摘要

大型调水项目 (LWTP) 已得到推广,以解决世界各地不断增长的用水需求。几十年来,学者们一直在研究 LWTP 的各种影响。然而,系统地检查文献并综合 LWTP 的影响和经验教训的研究有限。通过进行系统的文献回顾,我们评估了 LWTP 实施对社区的影响,以及影响 LWTP 实施的社会、政治和经济因素。我们的审查表明,LWTP 会威胁生计策略,危及传统文化的可持续性,并通过重新安置扰乱社区。这些影响是由将水用作政治机制、经济利益的优先级以及利益相关者的不平等参与而形成的。
