In this episode of Between the Lines, IDS Research Fellow Lyla Mehta interviews Luisa Cortesi and K. J. Joy, editors of the book Split Waters: The Idea of Water Conflicts. The book looks at the existence of the idea of water conflict, and asks what it is and what it produces in how it is used to pursue particular interests and to legitimise specific historical, technological and environmental relations.

The authors discuss amongst other things; What motivated them to write the book? And What stories of lived experiences were important in developing this book?
