Water MapsWorldmapper has created a unique series of maps to show how resources are managed around the world. Water is an important resource that isn't distributed quite so evenly. Click on a map to make it bigger. Take a look at some of these global water maps to see who has a lot of water resources…and who doesn't. Find your country and take at the bottom portion of Africa, what do you see? How can things be different?
