PhD candidate Sayan Modak and Professor Andrea Gerlak published an essay entitled “Hydrating the hydrocacy: In search of collaborative offshoots“ at the Observer Research Foundation website. Here is a quote:

This older version of the water cycle went beyond just representing nature. It delineated the mandate of the then-emerging field of hydrology and established its purpose—to trace and explain the dynamic processes of the water cycle. By doing so, the hydrologic cycle legitimised a specialised community of reductionist knowledge producers—hydrologists and engineers—positioning them as the gatekeepers with the sole knowledge authority on water and, consequently, the ones entrusted with the power to engineer and shape it.
