Hydraulic City
Abstract
Ac know ledg mentsThis research on Mumbai's water took me home to a world I did not know.Like many in Mumbai, I had for a long time lived in the city without needing to be conscious of the tremendous work of its social and material infrastructures.Through fieldwork, I learned of the extraordinary quotidian labor of employees of the city's hydraulic engineering department and those that live in the city's auto-constructed settlements, just to make water appear every day in city taps.And so it is with this more mundane book.Its appearance as a discrete thing conceals the generosity and work that has been invested in it by many others, just to make it appear in the world.As residents, friends, and experts of the city I love, I would like to thank
