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 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...

Problem, research strategy, and findings: Cities across the United States must have reliable consistent water supplies to support public health, promote economic growth, protect environment. The way we build design cities influences consumption patterns; however, most significant factors of built environment their associations with use are not well explored. In this study seek reveal ways in which characteristics influence urban use. We analyze spatially detailed data sets four different...
