  • The Region of Rio De Janeiro, One of the First Europeans to Praise Its Water Was the Shipping Pilot Nicolas Barré, Who Took Part in the French Colonisation Project
    Manuscript accepted for publication in the Journal of Latin American Studies on April 22, 2017. Paradise for Whom? Conservatism and Progress in the Perception of Rio de Janeiro’s Drinking Water Supply, Sixteenth to Nineteenth Centuries Jorun Poettering1 Abstract: This article examines the ways in which the perception of Rio de Janeiro’s drinking water contributed to shaping the city’s hydric management in colonial and imperial times. Even though the general assessment of climate and vegetation changed from paradisiacal to injurious in the second half of the eighteenth century in accordance with Enlightenment ideas, this had no effect on the locals’ appreciation of the city’s drinking water. The criteria to evaluate the quality and quantity of available water were based on works from classical antiquity and remained essentially unchanged from early colonial times to the end of the empire. Not even the population growth and the increasing susceptibility to epidemics in the nineteenth century did induce the authorities to reform the water supply system as they were confident that the city was provided with good and abundant water by virtue of its natural disposition. Introduction 1 I am grateful to Tamar Herzog, Susan Fitzpatrick-Behrens, Malte Griesse and Martin Biersack as well as to the anonymous peer reviewers and editors for their helpful comments on distinct versions of this article. Thanks also go to William Templer for revising my English.

  • Using Georeferenced Maps and Geocoded Images to Enrich the History of Rio De Janeiro's Fountains
    e-Perimetron, Vol. 9, No. 3, 2014 [129-145] www.e-perimetron.org | ISSN 1790-3769 Alida C. Metcalf Water and Social Space: Using georeferenced maps and geocoded images to enrich the history of Rio de Janeiro’s fountains Keywords: Rio de Janeiro; fountain; aqueduct; georeference; geocode Summary: Water infrastructure is essential to any city, but especially so in the history of Rio de Janeiro. Historically, Rio de Janeiro lacked easy access to fresh water. Not only was it not situated along a river but it was impractical to dig wells over much of the original city because of marshes and a high water table. A single aqueduct completed in the eighteenth century supplied the city with water until the nineteenth century when additional aqueducts began to be built. By necessity, public fountains were vital for the city. The public spaces around fountains were frequented by many residents, the majority of whom were slaves responsible for the delivery of water. Using a geospatial database with georeferenced historical maps and geocoded historical images, this article explores the waterworks of the city of Rio de Janeiro in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, paying particular attention to the functional, monumental, and social aspects of fountains. Despite its name, the city of Rio de Janeiro was not built along a river. Unlike ancient and early modern European cities that typically relied on rivers in addition to wells, aqueducts, and fountains for fresh water,1 Rio could not. Situated on a hill, named the Morro do Castelo (Castle Hill), the early city had limited water.

  • Water and the Struggle for Public Space: Social Negotiations in the Usage of Colonial Rio De Janeiro’S Waterworks
    Poettering, Jorun. Water and the Struggle for Public Space: Social Negotiations in the usage of Colonial Rio de Janeiro’s Waterworks. Water and the Struggle for Public Space: Social Negotiations in the Usage of Colonial Rio de Janeiro’s Waterworks1 Jorun Poettering Water affects social organization. The need for water invokes people to come into contact, to cooperate, to compete, or even to fight. While, on the one hand, water management is determined by a society’s hierarchies, tensions, values, and traditions, on the other, it also contributes to shape them. Aqueducts and fountains materially retain key aspects of social organization. In this article, I will study the waterworks of colonial Rio de Janeiro, interpreting their construction and the subsequent ways they were used in the context of a continuous negotiation between two major groups of inhabitants, whom I call “white elites” and “Afro-Brazilians.” I argue that both groups imbued the spaces created by and around the water supply infrastructure with a specific identity, giving the city its unique appearance. The white power elites, supported by technical experts, were active in the name of the Portuguese king and municipal authorities. They adopted concepts of conquest and civilization stemming from Roman traditions when designing the aqueducts and fountains and overseeing their usage. The slaves, who in their function as water carriers and laundresses, were the direct users of the infrastructure, filled the facilities with the pulse of life, giving them their special atmosphere. The two groups had different ideas about the value and functionality of the waterworks. On the basis of what we know from the sources, they rarely engaged in direct dialogue about the use and organization of the infrastructure and its surrounding spaces; rather, they negotiated them through their respective behaviors.

  • Mapping the Maracanã Aqueduct: Reconstructing the Route of Rio De Janeiro’S Second Major Aqueduct1
    e-Perimetron, Vol. 13, No. 1, 2018 [1-22] www.e-perimetron.org | ISSN 1790-3769 Alida C. Metcalf, Sean Morey Smith Mapping the Maracanã Aqueduct: Reconstructing the Route of Rio de Janeiro’s Second Major Aqueduct1 Keywords: Rio de Janeiro, Maracanã, Aqueduct, Cadastral Map, ArcGIS Summary: This paper reconstructs the route of the nineteenth-century aqueduct from the Maracanã River into the city of Rio de Janeiro using historical maps, archival records, and visual imagery. The first cadastral survey of the municipality of Rio, the Planta da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro [1870] and an engineering plan of 1845 are studied for the first time in ArcGIS and ArcScene in order to understand how the original channel, and as well as a second, underground piped conduit, came into the city. Georeferencing several segments of the same map, using modern contour data, and comparing historical maps are all techniques used in ArcGIS to establish the most likely route. In addition, historical, visual and textual sources provide further confirmation of the location of the Maracanã Aqueduct. The supply of fresh and pure water is essential to life in any city, but the history of water infrastructure is not always easily reconstructed. In the case of Rio de Janeiro, the Carioca Aqueduct is well known. Its monumental, double-arched water bridge still stands. A rich collection of visual images heralds its importance through time, thick descriptions written by many who walked its course can be found in nineteenth-century books, and archival sources document its construction, maintenance, and location (Metcalf, Smith, and Kennedy, 2016).

In 1849, the year before Brazil banned the transatlantic slave trade, the Frenchwoman Adèle Toussaint-Samson set aside a day for the famous excursion from the city of Rio de Janeiro to the Corcovado – the peak known as ‘the hunch- back’. Many visitors to Rio made the trip that wound up into the forest along the aqueduct that brought water to the city.
