A role for water markets in enhancing water security in the western United States: Lessons from the Walker River Basin
In many semi-arid, snow-fed river systems, climate change is shifting the timing and quantity of streamflow; at the same time, changing water use priorities are introducing additional demands on water supplies. These dynamics challenge water security across the globe. Water markets – economic instruments used to reallocate water via voluntary trade – may be used to adapt to these changes, though their implementation remains limited. To understand…
Short Take: Sorting at a Distance: Q Methodology Online
This article presents design principles and practical steps for web-based Q methodology surveys. Drawing on the experience of two online Q studies, we discuss theoretical concerns, sort and survey design, software programs, and issues in researcher-participant engagement. We argue that opening Q methodology to online modes of data collection is important to capture greater diversity in social perspectives and geographies
Promoting Concern for Climate Change: A Study of Wildfire Photographs Using Q Methodology
This study employs Q methodology to identify responses to wildfire imagery and climate change concern. Using photographs shared on Twitter during California’s 2018 Camp Fire, findings reveal three different perspectives on what images evoked the most concern among individuals: catastrophic destruction, smokescapes, and human or animal suffering. Results also reveal the images that evoke the least concern, such as scenes of aid and support and off…
Toilet power: Potable water reuse and the situated meaning of sustainability in the southwestern United States
Proposals to recycle urban wastewater for potable purposes are at the forefront of water development. In this article I combine political ecology's attention to networked relations with Q methodology to identify the shared positions of select stakeholders in the southwestern United States, an urbanizing region increasingly reliant on potable water reuse. I employ critical Q methodology to provide a contextual understanding of how water and sanita…
The Water Knife
The unique socioenvironmental resource challenges facing the western United States are manifold.Unprecedented drought, unequal and uneven effects of water shortage, and militant standoffs challenging the authority of the federal government have recently captured the public's attention.Drought, however, is a slow-moving disaster that rarely motivates novelists or filmmakers.The institutions governing water are even less compelling for popular audi…
Cultural theory of risk as a heuristic for understanding perceptions of oil and gas development in Eastern Montana, USA
Common sense principles governing potable water recycling in the southwestern US: Examining subjectivity of water stewards using Q methodology
The potential to supplement potable water supplies with highly treated municipal wastewater, or sewage, is of increasing interest to water planners in many parts of the world. Most of the current social science focuses on public acceptance, however there is a relative lack of research that explores the subjectivity of people who are involved with water recycling or water planning. This study draws on Gramscian theories of governance and Q Methodo…
The irrigation technozone: State power, expertise, and agrarian development in the U.S. West and British Punjab, 1880–1920
Drinking Wastewater: Public Trust in Potable Reuse
In the coming decades, highly treated wastewater, known as reclaimed water, is slated to be a major element of municipal water supplies. In particular, planners propose supplementing drinking water with reclaimed water as a sustainable solution to the growing challenge of urban water scarcity. Public opposition is currently considered the primary barrier to implementing successful potable water reuse projects; nonetheless, public responses to rec…
