Visualizing Your Water Footprint

The winners of the Urban Water Design Challenge, sponsored by Circle of Blue and Visualizing.org, were Harvard Grad School of Design students Joseph Bergen and Nicki Huang. Their submission allows viewers to scroll over a world map to compare indicators like urban population, water supply, water usage, and 'virtual water' embedded in different goods used.

Check out the winning graphic at Circle of Blue, calculate your own water footprint at Visualizing.org, and check out another neat infographic by Visualizing.org that compares countries’ footprints with their biocapacity (e.g. use of renewable resources).
