Data resource

We are using the AQUASTAT data for the implementation, the global water information system by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. Data is available at http://www.fao.org/nr/water/aquastat/main/index.stm

Project goals

  • To visualize the water resources and uses across all the countries and regions in the world.
  • To visualize the historical changes of the water resources and uses to understand the origins and future of water scarcity in the world.
  • To visualize the impact (causal relationship) of water shortage on the agriculture productivity and food security.

How to run this pipeline

  • Fork and clone the repo
 git clone https://github.com/XICHEN24/Water_Bank.git
  • Open the index.html with Chrome. You may encounter some UI oddities using other web browsers or mobiles to open the file.
  • Check whether the browser has access to the the files under dataset.
  • If the browser fails to display correctly, watch our the demo in the last section.

Implemented tools

  • World data map

  • Indexed line chart

  • Parallel coordinate plot

Demo

The demo shows how to visualize the water resource data using three visualization tools.
