Dieser Artikel diskutiert verschiedene Technologien, welche in Südkordofan (Sudan) zur Klassifizierung von Wasser in ‘trinkbar‘ und ‘nicht trinkbar‘ zur Anwendung kommen. Der Fall einer Wasserpumpe im Dorf Abol wird dargestellt, um aufzuzeigen, wie verschiedene Akteure mit der unklaren Situation umgingen, als Veränderungen des Wassers aus der Pumpe zur Infragestellung seiner Trinkbarkeit führten. Beamte in Südkordofans Verwaltungssystem versuchten den Standardverfahren zu folgen, scheiterten aber die Ergebnisse dieser Verfahren in relevanter Weise mit den Wassernutzern in Abol in Verbindung zu bringen. Die Wassernutzer reagierten unterschiedlich auf die Situation, wobei sie von verschiedenen Weltanschauungen und durch ungleiche praktische Optionen beeinflusst waren. Die Terminologie ‘travelling models‘ nach Richard Rottenburg (Rottenburg 2005; 2009) wird verwendet, um diese Heterogenität im Umgang mit einem ‘gekoppelten Problem‘ zu analysieren. Summary This article discusses different technologies used to classify water as potable or non-potable in South Kordofan, Sudan. The case of a water pump in the village Abol is presented to show how different actors dealt with the uncertain situation, when changes in the water coming from the pump caused doubt about its potability. Officials in South Kordofan's public administration system attempted to follow the model procedures for such a case, but failed to produce a relevant link between their results and Abol's community of water users. The water users reacted in different ways to the situation, due to their different belief systems and their unequal practical options. The article employs the terminology of ‘travelling models’ as developed by Richard Rottenburg (Rottenburg 2005; 2009) in analysing this heterogeneity in the face of a joint problem
