Water constitutes an integral and assembling life force for bodies, technologies, and power. Historical and social understandings rivers and water sources impact the materialisation and instrumentalisation of water (DasGupta, 2020). In particular, the abstraction
of water from its contextual assemblages can work to reinforce power relations. Adele Perry argues that ‘the forgetting of where water comes from … [is] enabled by the social relations of colonialism’ (as cited in Coyne et al., 2020). Amidst calls to think
with volume (Steinberg & Peters, 2015) and processually (see Hemming et al., 2019) regarding the flows and matter of water, this special issue attends to the somatechnics of water and its relational embedded-ness with knowledge, environments, and both human
and non-human actors. What are the somatechnics that attend to the hydroimperial (Pritchard, 2012) and hydrosocial terroritories (Boelens et al., 2016) of water? How can somatechnics be applied to the necropolitical deployment and manifestations of water (Lloréns
& Stanchich, 2019), the biopolitical management of water (Bakker, 2012), and water’s entanglement with racial capitalism? Water’s relationship to weathering (Neimanis & Walker, 2014) and environmentality (Agrawal, 2005) vivify climate concerns and their differential
impacts. Importantly, First Nations’ epistemic understandings of water precede newer non-Indigenous concerns with vibrant matter and the more-than-human and constitute important resistance to settler colonial processes of infrastructuring (see Spice, 2018).
As Irene Watson points out, the latter has facilitated ‘a lifestyle that has murdered ours as it eats into the future of us all’ (2002, para. 9). Finally, Kim TallBear reminds us, ‘indigenous peoples have never forgotten that nonhumans are agential beings
engaged in social relations that profoundly shape human lives’ (2015, p. 234). In what ways has water somatechnically engendered and fostered modes of being in the world?<o:p></o:p></p>
