Bender explores the history of community water management on Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Kilimanjaro's Chagga-speaking peoples have long managed water by employing diverse knowledge: hydrological, technological, social, cultural, and political. Since the 1850s, they have encountered groups from beyond the mountain--colonial officials, missionaries, settlers, the independent Tanzanian state, development agencies, and climate scientists--who have understood water differently. Drawing on the concept of waterscapes--a term that describes how people \"see\" water, and how physical water resources intersect with their own beliefs, needs, and expectations--Bender argues that water conflicts should be understood as struggles between competing forms of knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWater Brings No Harm\u003c\/i\u003e encourages readers to think about the origins and interpretation of knowledge and development in Africa and the global south. It also speaks to the current global water crisis, proposing a new model for approaching sustainable water development worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ohio University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47889367662743,"sku":"9780821423585","price":7178.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780821423585.webp?v=1781176084","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/water-brings-no-harm-management-knowledge-and-the-struggle-for-the-waters-of-kilimanjaro-9780821423585","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
