A [[Visualization]] generated for [[AQUASTAT]] of [[FAO]].
Two types of charts were prepared: Sankey and Network. The Sankey plots allow for an ‘automatic sorting’ of countries based on who is the water tower and who is the water source. This [[Visualization]] is useful to demonstrate where a country falls on this continuum.
The network plot shows the automatic arrangement of countries with their ‘water-neighbours’ without being bound to the upstream (left) -> downstream (right) style.
See interactive versions for all continents as well as a detailed analysis on the [[AQUASTAT]] page:

OK… I paste one here only because it’s extra boing-y:
