Guerrilla Cartography, a cartographic arts organization and creator of Food:
An Atlas, has announced a
Kickstarter
campaign for its sister project, Water: An Atlas.
A collection of more than 80 maps, Water: An Atlas
is a crowdsourced atlas that portrays water trends, usage issues and global events all created by volunteer cartographers from around the world.
All
Guerrilla Cartography board members and contributors are volunteers, and as such the organization seeks to raise at least $25,000 for printing and binding purposes. Similar to
Food: An Atlas,
a physical copy of the atlas will be available for purchase online, and it will also be available as a free downloadable PDF. Sales of the atlas help to fund our ongoing map education and future atlas publications. If we beat our goals, additional funds will
be used to support Guerrilla Cartography's activities and mission, including distributing more atlases to schools and libraries around the world.
Now
in its final layout phase, Water: An Atlas
brings together maps and data visualizations of physical, political and even imaginative water phenomena. Topics featured in the atlas include North Korean drought and flooding patterns, the Dakota Access Pipeline, disappearing lakes in Bangalore, and potential
water savings in California through the use of aquaponic systems.
Please
contribute to the campaign, and forward this message to your networks!
Sincerely,
The Guerrilla Cartography team
