100 Words for Water: A Projective Ecosocial Vocabulary

100 Words for Water delves into the relationship between water systems and human life amidst an escalating climate crisis. Drawing on the United Nations’ assertion that “the climate crisis is mainly a water crisis,” this book compiles over one hundred key terms defined by contemporary thinkers in science, philosophy, politics, activism and architecture. These terms – such as Water Rights, Hydrocatharsis, Decommodification of Water and Liquid Modernity – form a vital lexicon to guide transformative action and foster a more symbiotic relationship with water.
