Hello all, Would anyone recommend any texts with an ethnographic focus related to water or water / agriculture? Monographs are preferred, though edited volumes that contain substantial ethnography components would be welcome as well.
I am thinking of texts that would be appropriate for grad and advanced undergrad environmental anthropology courses with a water component or focus, as well as environmental science and policy courses. Ideally, the geographical scope would center on the western United States, but this is not a requirement. My initial search has turned up several books that examine water policy, dams, or just generally "the water situation is dire," but far fewer that approach these issues ethnographically or focus on water use and conservation in agricultural contexts. Any thoughts would be welcome, and gladly I could share with the list if there is interest. Warmest regards, Jason Simms -- Jason L. Simms, Ph.D., M.P.H., CPH University of South Florida
