Water security for whom? - Social and material perspectives on inequality around multipurpose reservoirs in Colombia

Project: Research

Project Details

Description

Little research has looked into the post-construction phase and the persistent inequalities in access to water and other benefits across diverse livelihoods and economic sectors, and the disruption of social networks and living habits. Few articles have focussed on dams in post-conflict societies. Fiinally, the large literature on hydropower dams has often overlooked multipurpose reservoirs, and the interdependence of social inequality with hydraulic technology, water flows and biophysical environments
