Freshwater is increasingly a matter of concern in research, policy and public spheres in N ew Z ealand. Geographers have made diverse and powerful contributions to understanding and performing multiple meanings of water in place. This special issue explores some geographical dimensions to the present political moment around freshwater in N ew Z ealand. Prospects for further explicitly geographical contributions to freshwater discussions are manifold but need to be developed within a coherent value proposition and must be situated within the diversely composed networks of practice in which geographers are embedded.
