Abstract
Book Review: Hydraulic City: Water and the Infrastructures of Citizenship in Mumbai
Highlights
Water access and must navigate both material and social infrastructures to establish water connections
Despite state visions of order, water infrastructures demonstrate that the distribution of resources cannot be reduced to the domain of technopolitics but must be seen through the lens of lively networks of sociality
By exploring the technopolitics of water leakages, Anand argues that leakage is a useful heuristic device that indicates the uncertainties that one faces with water is a result of the accumulation of the technological, material, and sociopolitical that constitute Mumbai’s hydraulic régime
