The Power of Water: Landscape, Water and the State in Southern Africa

The conference will focus on the following three themes: Water, landscape and the past; The urbanisation of water; and Water, governance and development intervention. The conference will explore how practices and discourses of water and landscape are inevitably tied up with, and invoke, different ideas, imaginations and perceptions of what the postcolonial state is, should and could be in southern Africa.
