Delve into the World Water Map, a groundbreaking geovisualization project by the National Geographic Society, Utrecht University, and Esri. Learn how this tool, built on 40 years of data, identifies "water gap" hotspots where demand exceeds supply, examines the impact of groundwater changes on communities, and analyzes sector-specific water demand across different geographies. Gain insights from expert panelists Marc Bierkens, Niko Wanders, and Will Thompson as they discuss the potential of this map to revolutionize water usage and inspire sustainable solutions to emerging freshwater challenges worldwide.
