Sumario:This paper seeks to explore collective ways to dissolve what I call hydrological States, that is, the dominant forms of governance of watersheds configured according to the keys of industrial modernism and its extractivist policies. The challenge is to imagine transnational civilizational options to design ecological States without generating violent reactions. To this end, this paper studies two singular cases: the collapse of the Elwha River hydroelectric dam under the leadership of the Klallam tribe, in the USA, and the actions carried out by the transnational network Humedales sin fronteras in the South America. In both, the political relevance of identification with other non-humans is highlighted, as well as the increasingly important role of indigenous thinking.
