Summary
This chapter sets out to shed a feminist light on the mechanisms and implications of contemporary re-allocations of water from low to higher value uses. It does this by exploring how such re-allocations re-arrange gendered tenure, labor and consumption relations and water governance modalities, simultaneously re-shaping gendered cultural experiences of being and relating (to other humans and to nature). Inspired by experiences and first evidence from a field case study in the Saïss region of Morocco, the chapter reviews and discusses possible feminist approaches to grapple with these water re-allocations. It starts with a sympathetic revisiting of eco-feminist theories of the 1980s and 1990s aimed at re-thinking development in ways that place social, economic and environmental sustainability at the center, and continues by exploring more recent feminist political ecology approaches to understand connections between changes in the environment (water) and trade (commercial farming) from a critical feminist perspective of justice.
