I’m working on a geographic information writing question and need a sample draft to help me learn.The distribution of water varies globally and in order for us to manage water supplies and ensure all humans have access to water, it is important that we understand the global distribution of water as well as how it is used. One way to geographically display information is by using a cartogram. A cartogram is a map in which the geometry of the regions is distorted in order to show information for a particular variable, such as the distribution of population or income.
In this section we will evaluate cartograms that show water usage around the world. Figure 8.5 is a cartogram of water use. The territory size shows the proportion of the worldwide water use occurring in a country. Countries that have enlarged territory sizes have higher rates of water usage. Figure 8.6 is a world population cartogram for comparison. Write a paper that includes all of the following:How are the two cartograms different? Explain.
How are they alike? Explain.
Approximately how many people live without clean drinking water? (You may have to research this.)
Is there a water crisis?If so, where is the water crisis occurring?
What social and environmental factors do you think are contributing to the water crisis?
What are some methods we can do to bring clean, safe water to developing countries? (Hint: Africa)
