Sumario:This article explores the concept of 'environmental risk' within the context of the sanitation policy of the Matanza-Riachuelo basin and its role in guiding relocations. Specifically, I look into how this category dialogues with the real-life experiences of residents who previously inhabited the areas alongside the streams in Almirante Brown territory and have recently undergone relocation. Experiences of living by the stream align with the definition of 'environmental risk' provided by the Matanza-Riachuelo Basin Authority, yet extend beyond its boundaries. Living by the stream involves both suffering and enjoyment, a desire for relocation to escape the risk of flooding. It also encompasses the acknowledgment of inhabiting a territory self-produced by the residents themselves, which is sad to leave behind left behind. The information and narratives presented in this article derive from fieldwork conducted in the municipality since 2019, involving participant observation during territorial interventions and conducting interviews.
