Popular conceptions of transport have been land-oriented, but with water as the centre, our understanding of day-to-day lived realities changes, demanding new vocabulary. The Kochi Water Metros advent and success are the topics under discussion. Moving from land metro to water metro signals changes in our reading of travel, ecology, energy conservation, direction, temporality, socio-cultural and economic modalities. The article is a project-based study drawing data from interviews, documents, audio-visual images and real-time information to trace and position Kochis Water Metro. With economic and environmental sustainability as the driving forces, the transportation cum tourism aspects of the Water Metro requires an intersectional reading of hydrography, oceanic materialities, and maritime practices. Reading these against the larger context of capitalism and Blue Humanities helps explore how hydrocapitalism becomes the new discourse that positions the ecology-economy paradox. Not only does the Water Metro realign travel and geospatial mapping, but it also begets new directions in maritime developments and conservation within Kochis tourism ventures. 2024 selection and editorial matter, Dr. Sreedevi Santhosh, Dr. Samjaila T.
