During my research on global water crisis, I learned that there are many countries who import water from other countries. they import water from other countries for industrial and agricultural use. Water is crucial source for life that we take for granted. But as water level is dropping, experts say in 10-20 years there will be a war over water like the war over oil. To raise awareness on this issue, I thought about the idea of visualization of water consumption, and making an interface people can learn about this issue. Explaining water usage with food item would be an easy way for people to approach this issue because we consume food everyday as well.
