摘要

In this paper, I consider the role of agency in complex and adaptive socio-hydrogeological systems, particularly the extent to which aquifers may, themselves, exhibit agency. I argue for a characterisation that appreciates aquifers as part of a complex, adaptive and co-evolving more-than-human landscape with the capability to exert agency through performative intra-action. Acknowledging this agency of aquifers within socio-hydrogeological systems offers fresh insights regarding the emergence of water-sensitive urban/rural development pathways and opens up novel interdisciplinary research agendas.
