Water access and quality in relation to social, spatial and hydro-ecological difference

Tracing social and spatial differences – from the neighbourhood to the global scale, and between the global North and South – is one way to investigate water-related inequalities. Water justice considerations for drinking, sanitation, and productive uses must be identified, understood, and assessed in relation to a wide range of social and political factors, including gender, income, indigeneity, and race. Recent works have also increasingly emphasized the ways in which biophysical factors and material conditions, including topographic and environmental conditions, contribute to inequalities (cf. Perreault 2014; Sultana 2011). While we cannot address all of these differences, the following sections provide several illustrations of social, economic, and biophysical differences as key to characterizing and assessing water injustice.
