The South–North Water Transfer Project: remaking the geography of China. Regional Studies. This paper uses a technopolitical approach to analyse China's Project. project promises channel 25 billion cubic metres water year from Yangtze River northward, connecting four river basins, three megacities, six provinces and hundreds millions users. argues that embodies particular, engineering-heavy management; that, even so, it poses fundamental challenges existing regional structures governance;...
Abstract Motivation Unlike other places where resettlement is largely a by‐product of large infrastructure projects, in China used as tool for poverty alleviation.

China's South–North Water Transfer ( SNWT ) project, the world's largest interbasin water transfer programme government that distribution across more governable and administrable. This article analyses English Chinese academic, media documents through governmentality lens. It aims examine project's machinery, mentality spatiality, its narrative, constitution objects...
Abstract China's South–North Water Transfer Project (SNWTP) is a vast and still expanding network of infrastructure institutions that moves water from the Yangtze River its tributaries to cities in North China. This article aims assess SNWTP's impacts by beginning answer seven questions about project: How management SNWTP evolving? What are problems be resolved when managing within jurisdictions? status quality SNWTP? consequences resettlements caused increased supply affecting regional...

Abstract For the past two decades, work across a range of fields, but particularly geography, has engaged ‘critical hydropolitics’ as way to highlight not only politics inherent in decisions about water, also foundational assumptions more conventional hydropolitical analyses that tend focus on conflicts and cooperation over water resources, with heavy emphasis ‘the state’ key actor scale analysis. In this article we review critical literature focuses transboundary rivers descend from eastern...
Planned resettlement is being widely considered as a response to the impacts of climate change. As many millions people are expected be displaced in coming decades, scholars and policymakers searching for precedence inform their research planning, particularly from experiences Development‐Induced Displacement Resettlement (DIDR).

Chinese firms, both private and state-owned, have transformed the global agrochemical complex. China dominates exports of pesticides (particularly herbicides) various kinds nitrogen- phosphorous-based fertilisers. And yet precise nature this transformation is poorly understood: where are agrochemicals made by whom; in what ways domestic production changing; which actors active export market; flowing where? In article we begin to flesh out some detail China's massive complex its internal...
Many advanced safety and navigation applications in vehicles require accurate, detailed digital maps, but manual lane measurements are expensive time-consuming, making automated techniques desirable. This paper describes a system that refines augments commercial maps using position traces come from Global Positioning System receivers with differential corrections. The computed models enable applications, such as lanekeeping, convenience lane-changing advice. We also present number of...
Hydrosocial territories are produced not just through concrete water infrastructure, but flows of people, water, money, and ideas at multiple scales. As part China’s South–North Water Transfer Project, drawn from the distant Danjiangkou Reservoir now supplies megacities Beijing Tianjin with majority their drinking water. To provide this new service – supplying sufficient quality quantity its upper reaches in midst socio-economic ecological transformations. In article, we outline tools being...
