水资源的治理在水政策议程和学术研究中都很突出。政治生态学家在重新定义水与社会之间的关系方面取得了重要进展。然而，尽管他们强调了水治理的标量维度和政治化性质，但对其标量政治的分析相对较新。在本文中，我们考虑如何在秘鲁不断增长的采矿业对水资源的需求增加重新配置和重新调整水治理。在秘鲁，采矿业对水的渴求吸引并重塑了在不同时空尺度上运作的社会关系、技术、制度和话语。我们开发了水景的概念，以研究这些水通过采矿共同生产的多种方式，通常超出了流域规模。我们认为，水景观的检查避免了纯粹的物质条件下思考水的局限性，根据传统的空间尺度和制度层次结构的水问题的分析，并采取这些规模和结构是理所当然的。
The governance of water resources is prominent in both water policy agendas and academic scholarship. Political ecologists have made important advances in reconceptualising the relationship between water and society. Yet while they have stressed both the scalar dimensions and the politicised nature of water governance, analyses of its scalar politics are relatively nascent. In this paper, we consider how the increased demand for water resources by the growing mining industry in Peru reconfigures and rescales water governance. In Peru, the mining industry’s thirst for water draws in and reshapes social relations, technologies, institutions, and discourses that operate over varying spatial and temporal scales. We develop the concept of waterscape to examine these multiple ways in which water is co-produced through mining, often beyond the watershed scale. We argue that an examination of waterscapes avoids the limitations of thinking about water in purely material terms, structuring analysis of water issues according to traditional spatial scales and institutional hierarchies, and taking these scales and structures for granted.
