约旦的大多数主要利益攸关方都认为，高地灌溉农业是不可持续的。不太为人所知的是，高原农业是如何与约旦的性质及其领土划分冲动交织在一起的。我们认为，约旦国家通过纵容他们的非法取水和使用水的做法来安抚精英阶层，是一种在地形登记中进行水文社会领土划分的企业。但是，领土不仅仅是地形，人类和非人类行为者，如国际捐助者、市场、城市用水者，以及水和能源基础设施的大量聚集，也产生了一个拓扑性领土，在那里，电力网络弥合了这里和那里之间的差距，使超越假定的主权边界的遥远关系紧急出现在当地水域中。约旦通过水进行领土划分的拓扑学登记，是小规模约旦农民非常不满的经历和注意到的。区域地缘政治和国家的领土冲动与水和土地利用实践交织在一起，产生了约旦严重分裂的水上政治。
Most major stakeholders in Jordan are of the view that irrigated agriculture in the highlands in not sustainable. What is less well known is how the highland agriculture is intertwined with the nature of the Jordanian state and its territorializing impulses. We argue that Jordanian states placation of the elites by condoning their illegal water extraction and use practices, is an enterprise in hydro-social territorialisation in a topographical register. But territory is not just topography, and the vast assemblages of human and non-human actors, e.g., international donors, markets, urban water users, along with water and energy infrastructure, also spawn a topological territory, where networks of power bridge the gaps between here and there, and make distant relationships, beyond the presumed sovereign boundaries, urgently present in local waterscapes. The topological register of Jordanian territorialisation through water, is quite resentfully experienced and noted by the smaller Jordanian farmers. Regional geopolitics and the state's territorial impulses intersect with water and land use practices to produce the deeply fissured hydropolitics of Jordan.
