摘要

This article draws from the fields of anthropology of development and sociology of science to bring new light on the discourses and dynamics of agricultural water management in Sub-Saharan Africa. Specifically, it investigates the persistence of a long-standing and apparently contradictory narrative that posits small reservoirs as a solution to the region's agricultural water challenges, despite recurrent reports of their low performance. The prevalence of small reservoirs is due to their role as "anchoring devices"; they embed a narrative of "having great potential" but in ways that intersect multiple interests and development discourses. The gap between intention and practice that characterizes small reservoirs marks a stable interpretation of their nature and outcomes in the face of conflicting evidence. Understanding the interactions between discourse, policy formulation, and implementation that sustain development projects departs from a linear vision of development. It paves the way toward improved agricultural water management.Digital Object Identifier http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/08941920.2012.723306
