Brazil, a country of continental proportions, holds about 12% of the world's freshwater within its territory. Although these figures suggest a scenario of abundance, communities in the country experience water scarcity. By following leaks, floods, stories of low pressure in pipelines, and the manifestations of water's path through landscapes, from aquifers to lagoons, this research aims to understand how the relationships between infrastructures, landscapes, and social and ecological histories can construct the stagnation and circulation of water in a city in southern Brazil. Based on ethnographic data collected between 2021 and 2023 in Florianópolis, Brazil, this research documents the transformations of the urban landscape with a focus on water infrastructures and landscapes. From these analyses, this project seeks to understand how water infrastructure developed over time creates different ways of inhabiting the city, promotes inequalities of race, gender, and class, and mobilizes other notions of citizenship in the context of climate change.
