Unsustainable models of growth-based development are pushing aquatic ecologies outside known historical ranges and destabilizing human activities that have long depended on them. We develop the concept of hydrosocial rupture to explore how human-water resource connections change when they are exposed to cumulative development pressures. The research analyzes stakeholder perceptions of hydrosocial ruptures in two sites in Southeast Asia: (1) peatlands in Riau Province, Indonesia, and (2) Tonle Sap Lake, Cambodia. In both contexts, capital-driven processes have reconfigured human-water resource connections to generate transgressive social and environmental consequence that cannot be contained within administrative units or property boundaries. Our findings show how these ruptured hydrosocial relations are perceived and acted upon by the most proximate users of water resources. In Cambodia, a policy of resettlement has sought to thin hydrosocial relations in response to biodiversity loss, chronic pollution. and changing hydrology in Tonle Sap Lake. By contrast, in Indonesia’s Riau Province, efforts are underway to thicken human-water relations by hydrologically rehabilitating peatlands drained for agricultural development. We argue that in both of these contexts hydrosocial ruptures should be understood as phenomena of transboundary governance that cannot be addressed by individual groups of users, sectors, or jurisdictions.

水文社会破裂：跨界治理的原因和后果

基于增长的不可持续发展模式正在将水生生态推向已知历史范围之外，并破坏长期以来依赖它们的人类活动的稳定。我们提出了水文社会断裂的概念，以探索人类与水资源的联系在面临累积的发展压力时如何变化。该研究分析了利益相关者对东南亚两个地点的水利社会破裂的看法：（1）印度尼西亚廖内省的泥炭地和（2）柬埔寨洞里萨湖。在这两种情况下，资本驱动的过程都重新配置了人类与水资源的联系，从而产生了无法包含在行政单位或财产边界内的越界社会和环境后果。我们的研究结果表明，最接近水资源的用户是如何感知这些破裂的水利社会关系并采取行动的。在柬埔寨，一项重新安置政策试图削弱水利社会关系，以应对生物多样性丧失和慢性污染。洞里萨湖的水文变化。相比之下，在印度尼西亚廖内省，正在努力通过水文恢复为农业发展而排干的泥炭地来加强人与水的关系。我们认为，在这两种情况下，水社会断裂都应被理解为跨界治理现象，无法由个别用户、部门或司法管辖区解决。洞里萨湖的水文变化。相比之下，在印度尼西亚廖内省，正在努力通过水文恢复为农业发展而排干的泥炭地来加强人与水的关系。我们认为，在这两种情况下，水社会断裂都应被理解为跨界治理现象，无法由个别用户、部门或司法管辖区解决。洞里萨湖的水文变化。相比之下，在印度尼西亚廖内省，正在努力通过水文恢复为农业发展而排干的泥炭地来加强人与水的关系。我们认为，在这两种情况下，水社会断裂都应被理解为跨界治理现象，无法由个别用户、部门或司法管辖区解决。
