DESCRIPTION:Despite sitting within the world’s largest river delta\, Dhaka\
 , the capital of Bangladesh\, has become increasingly dependent on groundw
 ater as rapid urbanization and severe surface-water pollution have transfo
 rmed the city’s waterscape. While policy seeks to reduce this dependence t
 hrough more sustainable alternatives\, Dhaka’s expanding peri-urban fronti
 er\, which is also an industrial belt\, still relies almost entirely on pr
 ivately extracted groundwater.Drawing on archival research and fieldwork a
 cross peri-urban settlements\, Avia Nahreen examines households’ dependenc
 e on pumps that draw from aquifers government agencies monitor sparsely. S
 he terms the water injustices arising from this arrangement “deferred wate
 r injustice”: the production of present-day water abundance by displacing 
 its ecological and social costs into the future\, while selective measurem
 ent keeps those costs politically invisible.Avia Nahreen is a Ph.D. candid
 ate in the Geography and the Environment Department. Her research examines
  urban water politics\, environmental injustice and the layered experience
 s of water infrastructure in Dhaka. She explores groundwater dependence\, 
 colonial water legacies and everyday struggles and possibilities surroundi
 ng water access.Lunch will be provided.&nbsp\;
