Drawing on the United Nations’ assertion that “the climate crisis is mainly a water crisis,” this thought- provoking book compiles over one hundred key terms defined by contemporary thinkers in science, philosophy, politics, activism and architecture. These terms – such as Water Rights, Hydrocatharsis, Decommodification of Water and Liquid Modernity – form a vital lexicon to guide transformative action and foster a more symbiotic relationship with water.

Illustrated with cartographic case studies, the volume offers vivid and hopeful scenarios for reshaping human-water interdependence. Through its diverse contributors and a interdisciplinary approach, 100 Words for Water challenges readers to rethink water management and design as the foundation of a resilient, multispecies future. This book is an essential resource for architects, activists, policymakers and anyone passionate about ecosocial transformation and water equity in an era of unprecedented environmental change.
