Description
Summary:This paper studies the processes involved in the mutual definition of devices that objectify and govern water scarcity in the Adour-Garonne district. It first discusses the manner the problem of water scarcity has been historically and socially shaped. It analyses the mechanisms that have legitimized and institutionalized a specific socio-technical infrastructure that reduces water to its flow. It then explores how such socio-technical infrastructure frames the negotiations concerning water at a local scale. It shows how hydrologic, hydraulic and agricultural knowledge are actively involved in naturalizing water uses; while it also produces new problems which regulation involves renewing the control and consistency of different spatialities and temporalities.
