A storytelling website prototype:
Interactive Grassroot initiative map
The map allows users to browse through case studies of worldwide base of water-related problems and grassroots initiatives taken as responses. The map also includes two visual indexes – the groundwater depth – an important marker measuring the depth of ground water table. The index could highlight potential water scarced areas or ones where water was depleted by extraction. The other index is a global water scarcity risk index that highlights water scarced areas and the risk severity level.
