This theme issue draws on political ecology scholarship to explore how hydrosocial relations are produced and transformed through development interventions that provide and manage water in the Global South. In the five papers that draw insights from different contexts globally, the authors examine historical and contemporary water-related development interventions to show how power is produced through water in ways that perpetuate, or even exacerbate, inequality, exclusion, and impoverishment. In doing so, the authors contest a set of important yet taken-for-granted narratives around water provision in international development.
