Municipal water schemes in a Mumbai squatter settlement: assembling space and society
Government legislation designed to address the lack of basic services in squatter settlements in Mumbai, India, triggered the formation of local self-organised groups to implement municipal water access and distribution schemes. In one such settlement, the implementation and administration of these water networks intermixed with fertile local political and economic networks. The relationships that emerged from these conditions play an integral role in the social and spatial ordering of the settlement's development. The resulting water assemblages, composed of hybrid social actors, are flexible enough to accommodate the fluid spatiality of the settlement. However, this flexibility exacts a heavy toll from residents who receive minimal amounts of water and experience repeated disruptions in service. Residents' suffering is accentuated by present-day efforts to leverage the power over water access to redevelop the settlement through corporate and state actors.
