ABSTRACT
Water is a necessary everyday commodity, and every modern society is dependent on urbanized water. Nevertheless, people take water for granted. People do not think about drinking or sewage water networks, because water simply comes and goes. However, a hybrid and heterogeneous network involving water intertwines nature and human activities. This socionature varies with regard to its stability, extension and forms of time and space. A key scholar of the geography of water, Karen Bakker (2005, p. 546), has stated that the analysis (of water networks and systems) should focus on specific socionatures as active subjects of neoliberalization in specific historical–geographical contexts.
