This article presents the hydraulic space of urban Lima in the 17th century, and the effortsof Lima’s cabildo (city council) to govern it. Based on a detailed analysis of the referencesto water in the Libros de cabildos de Lima from 1588-1700, the management of this naturalresource is examined through close consideration of the infrastructure installed andthe political authorities established. A three-pronged approach considers natural processes,infrastructure, and authorities together, to discuss three case studies: 1) the Rímac river, thelevees, and the levee commissioners, 2) the springs, the drinking water pipeline networkand the pipelines commissioners, and 3) the rains, religious processions, and San Marcelothe “lawyer of the city for the waters.” For each case study, the cabildo’s strategies for waterresource management are evaluated for success or failure. |
