Geographies of Drinking Water (In)securities in Peri-urban Hyderabad

Sucharita Sen, Anshika John, Shreya Chakraborty, Manoj Jatav. 2019. Geographies of Drinking Water (In)securities in Peri-urban Hyderabad. Economic & Political Weekly, Vol. 54, Issue No. 39, 28 Sep.

A political ecology framework has been employed to analyse patterns of drinking water (in)securities peculiar to peri-urban geographies. Primary field data have been used in the analysis. The many institutional arrangements that have emerged in peri-urban Hyderabad and how such arrangements have shaped the water ecology in the region and outcomes with respect to access to drinking water are described here. It argues that the water environment, both in terms of scarcity and pollution, and the social relations around water, co-produce each other, in sometimes unexpected ways. A primary finding is that the varying degrees and forms of private sector engagement in the drinking water sector produce different kinds of sub-geographies of distress in peri-urban spaces.
