获得水是一系列小农生计战略的基础。因此，正是水和土地的使用和获取的交叉点构成了农村生计的结构。本文在莫桑比克中部的Sussundenga镇进行了为期18个月的人种学研究，考察了在支离破碎的水资源制度下，不同阶级和性别的居民是如何协商获取水资源的。对具有商业价值的湿地和河岸地块的竞争日益激烈，这些长期以来一直是生存生产中心的地点被排除在外。虽然该镇农村供水网络的商业化也有可能将无法支付新水费的居民排除在外，但居民不太愿意将较贫穷的家庭排除在新基础设施之外。本文探讨了一些水资源利用的商业化如何产生排斥，而其他形式则没有。本文认为，随着水在水文社会景观中的移动，水的意义和价值也在变化。
Access to water underpins a range of smallholder livelihood strategies. Consequently, it is the intersections of water and land use and access that structure rural livelihoods. Drawing on eighteen months of ethnographic research in the town of Sussundenga in central Mozambique, this article examines how residents differentiated by class and gender negotiate access to water under a fragmented water regime. Increasing competition for commercially valuable wetlands and stream‐bank plots is creating new exclusions from these sites that have long been central to subsistence production. While the commercialization of the town's rural water supply network also has the potential to exclude residents who are unable to pay new water users' fees, residents have been less willing to exclude poorer households from using the new infrastructure. Exploring how the commercialization of some water use produces exclusions while other forms do not, this article suggests that water's meanings and values change as it moves across the hydrosocial landscape.
