Who writes about artificial #lakes and #reservoirs in the #Anthropocene ?

I am interested in the trajectory of the #RepresaBillings (Billings Reservoir) in #SãoPaulo as a product of the Anthropocene, and would like to write up an article drawing from my research into the megacity's modern #waterscape.

Related: I am always drawn back to this image that Paulo Whitaker captured in 2015, at the height of São Paulo's #watercrisis esp as it relates to Daniel Aldana Cohen's idea of #ecoapartheid

With 22% of all U.S.ians struggling ALREADY to pay their bills, and with little financial ability to make big up front investments, building electrification could result in widening economic and racial #inequality and exacerbating #ecoapartheid which we already observe in our #housing quality and housing security and exposure to #climate disasters.

This makes #ElectrifyEverything a key racial and economic #justice issue.
