An interactive water atlas · Demo data

MYWATR

Water
is data.

Behind every tap, latrine and handwashing basin is a row in a table. MYWATR turns that table into a place you can walk through — world, continent, region, country, indicator, year.

What is MYWATR

One dataset, four questions: who has water, who has sanitation, who has hygiene, and who is left out.

Every indicator is reported three ways — national, urban and rural — because the average almost always hides the gap. The atlas keeps those three dimensions one click apart, everywhere.
