... In other jurisdictions, water plans are a mere consideration (Finland: Soininen, 2014) and do not bind water permit decisions. In some cases, water planning and permitting regimes only apply to some parts of jurisdictions that are considered particularly water-stressed (Australia: Cosens, 2018) or where environmental problems are significant (New Zealand: Daya-Winterbottom, 2014). There is also great diversity in the scale at which water planning occurs, from the national level (Nepal: Hirji et al., 2018) to the state level (states of the western USA: Cosens, 2018), to the local watershed level (some areas of Australia, California, USA: Cosens, 2018;South Africa: Pejan et al., 2014). ...

... The concept was established in the United States in the early 1980s after civil protest at the racialised dumping of PCBs in Warren County, North Carolina and the disproportionate exposure of minorities and the poor to pollution (Bryant, 1995;Bullard, 1999;Maantay, 2002;Zimring, 2015). This focus on distributive justice, whilst still explored in different U.S. contexts (Goodling, 2019;Graddy-Lovelace, 2017), has extended into a global, empirically rich and plural research agenda (Martin, 2015;Schlosberg, 2004;Walker, 2009). This encompasses topics including the environmentalism of the poor and the petro-violence of oil frontiers (Peluso and Watts, 2001;Watts, 2015), 'slow violence' (Nixon, 2011) and structural injustices connected to polluted landscapes and 'sacrifice zones' (Lerner, 2010). ...
