In Water Brings No Harm, Matthew V. Bender explores the history of
community water management on Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
Kilimanjaro's Chagga-speaking peoples have long managed water by
employing diverse knowledge: hydrological, technological, social,
cultural, and political. Since the 1850s, they have encountered
groups from beyond the mountain--colonial officials, missionaries,
settlers, the independent Tanzanian state, development agencies,
and climate scientists--who have understood water differently.
Drawing on the concept of waterscapes--a term that describes how
people "see" water, and how physical water resources intersect with
their own beliefs, needs, and expectations--Bender argues that
water conflicts should be understood as struggles between competing
forms of knowledge. Water Brings No Harm encourages readers to
think about the origins and interpretation of knowledge and
development in Africa and the global south. It also speaks to the
current global water crisis, proposing a new model for approaching
sustainable water development worldwide.
