This perspective highlights how water takes shape within social and political contexts, where societal actions, knowledge, and institutional decisions are closely entangled with biophysical processes. The section invites interdisciplinary dialogue between the social sciences, humanities, natural sciences, planning, and policy practice.
We invite paper submissions on topics including (but not limited to):
- water as infrastructure, technology, and governance;
- nature-based solutions from social and political perspectives;
- cultural ecosystem services in waterscapes;
- water as a space of cultural memory and identity;
- multispecies communities, conflicts, and practices of coexistence;
- everyday and recreational water-related practices;
- water protection, activism, and their historical and contemporary forms.
