The work of civilization, or more precisely the state...consists in the elimination of mud and its replacement by its purer constituents, land and water.
James C. Scott, Against the Grain: A Deep History of the Earliest States (2017), p. 56

Projeto de revisão do traçado dos córregos e localização de bicas e nascentes do sítio urbano de São Paulo. Mapeamento independente, não atrelado a qualquer coletivo, iniciativa ou órgão público. — Map created by hezbolago in CARTO
A new(ish) interactive hydrographic map of São Paulo, combining official documents, historical maps, and independent investigation. By “Hezbolago” in their own words: NÃO É UM COLETIVO, INICIATIVA OU GRUPO. É UMA TÁTICA DE AÇÃO, UM JEITO DE FAZER (E DE NÃO FAZER) AS COISAS.
Three part tile mural depicting water in three historical times in São Paulo outside the Sabesp EEA Vila América, southwest of Ave Paulista. Made at the Liceu de Arte e Oficios de São Paulo in 1945...since then, touched up by local street artists.
Os brasileiros, assim como a maioria dos habitantes do planeta, vivem a catástrofe ambiental mas dão outros nomes a ela. Se a água não presta ou se a água falta, acham que basta ter aumento de salário, para poder comprar água no supermercado, ou o governo do momento fazer uma obra, para que a água volte para as torneiras. Ainda não compreenderam que a água será a maior preocupação de seus filhos e netos.

Invisibility is indeed the height of conquest. Let us think about it for just a moment: who could seriously imagine a water strike?
