‘Water’s is substance through whose movements we can trace histories of
colonialism, underdevelopment and the flow of capital. Water might be
understood as a materialization of structures of social power. Water
sustains life and also sustain communities.
Our Waterscapes are full of traces of industrial past and present, fluid
scars of the brutality of industrialization fever, neo-liberal
appropriation of resources and criminal multinational neoextaccionism[1]
minery.
Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink[2].
This letal Hydropolitic is based on water access and control, that don't
let us another option that depend in privatized "clean" water.
This presentation will review the paradigms of hydrological conditions
and water management practices
In the context o catalunya rivers in where the XIX century rise of
industrial colonies take place, the toxic waste trough in their flows
have transformed in poison magma streams, affecting the environmental
health. Our own Styx & Acheron fluvial nightmare.
The Anoia river[3] is one of this death rivers, more than 100 years of
continuous pollution from textile, leather an paper industries between
others, have shape an environment that has reach the point of mutate the
fishes that still survive to intersex creatures, consequence of high
levels of estrogens and other hormones, so their are unable to reproduce
anymore. And this is only one example.
So, how can this be reversed? is possible anyway? The first step before
start to experiment bio-remediation technichs[4] will be getting the
right tools of accurate analysis and monitoring. WE have to be able to
create tools that do not need to depend on private and expensive
laboratorie analysis reports, cause they are also polluters.
I will share some past  experiences[5-6] about river data analysis,
unfortunately this hacking experiences are always situated experiences
in other rivers, with different conditions, pollution, geographical
flows and community symbiosis. The aim will be to share knowledge about
DIY hardware[7] and get a golden rain of ideas focus in Anoia context,
and mapping the maximum of possibilities like density, light spectrum,
flow, magnetism, bacteria hacking, etc, etc.
