El término ‘revolución’ se ha convertido en usual para designar las grandes discontinuidades que separan largos períodos de permanencias estructurales. La aproximación al abastecimiento de agua de Barcelona en la larga duración confirma una profunda discontinuidad, después de siglos de gran estabilidad tecnológica y ambiental. De modo que, dentro del amplio cúmulo de cambios que hemos convenido en etiquetar como ‘revolución industrial’, podemos postular la existencia de una ‘revolución del agua’. De hecho, una transición inacabada de ciento cincuenta años que ha transformado radicalmente nuestra vida cotidiana y ha llevado al actual reto medioambiental. Con todo, abordar un estudio de caso no busca simplemente verificar un esquema teórico previo o una hipótesis de partida. El propósito es poner el foco sobre un caso concreto que permita desvelar aspectos contextuales específicos, relaciones imprevistas, cambios en los factores críticos y nuevas cuestiones a tomar en cuenta. Con esta intención, partiendo de una investigación netamente empírica, la selección de las cuestiones y su periodización son interpretativas, y tiene el propósito de ampliar la paleta de interrogantes y contribuir a las aproximaciones comparadas.

The term 'revolution' has become usual to designate the great discontinuities that separate long periods of structural permanence. The long-term approach to Barcelona's water supply confirms a profound discontinuity, after millennia of great technological and environmental stability. So that, within the broad set of changes that we have agreed to label as 'industrial revolution', we can postulate the existence of a 'water revolution'. In fact, an unfinished transition of one hundred and fifty years that has radically transformed our daily lives and has led to the current environmental challenge.
However, addressing a case study does not simply seek to verify a previous theoretical scheme or a starting hypothesis. The purpose is to focus on a particular case that allows revealing specific contextual aspects, unforeseen relationships, changes in critical factors and new issues to take into account. With this intention, starting from a purely empirical investigation, the selection of the questions and their periodization are interpretative, and have the purpose of expanding the range of issues and contributing to the comparative approaches. |
