水资源地理学自最初在工程学和纯科学中的定位以来，已经经历了相当大的转变。正如这期特刊所展示的那样，通过水奖学金的政治化实践，正在取得许多知识和实际成果。地理学家的这项工作整合了对机构，权力关系，方法以及最重要的水的情感/情感方面的批判性社会科学观点，并具有跨学科和区域的深刻熟悉和专业知识。在这里，水资源地理学的“关键”方面意味着反实证主义的认识论被推到为社会正义和从与水有关的政治和物质斗争中解放出来的服务中。构成这期特刊的五篇论文探讨了南亚和西亚、撒哈拉以南非洲和北美的这些实质性和理论性问题。
Water resource geography has undergone a considerable transformation since its original moorings in engineering and the pure sciences. As this Special Issue demonstrates, many intellectual and practical gains are being made through a politicized practice of water scholarship. This work by geographers integrates a critical social scientific perspective on agency, power relations, method and most importantly the affective/emotional aspects of water with profound familiarity and expertise across sub-disciplines and regions. Here, the ‘critical’ aspects of water resource geography imply anti-positivist epistemologies pressed into the service of contributing to social justice and liberation from water-related political and material struggles. The five papers making up this Special Issue address these substantive and theoretical concerns across South and West Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and North America.
