WaterLapse

This project is solving the Seeing Water From Space challenge.

Purpose:

Create an animated visualization about the evolution of the water bodies in the altiplano of Chile in the last 100 years. Like this animation

"Plan":

  • Understand the available data about water bodies - the period for which it is available, the frequency of the samples, and what is tracked.
  • Figure out how to place that data on the map.
  • Then create the time-lapse animation.

What we managed to do:

  • could not find / understand data about water bodies
  • settled on the precipitation data that's friendlier
  • displayed precipitation data for the last 100 years on the world map, with time-lapse animation
  • documented our progress, blockers, findings in this hackpad: https://spaceapps.hackpad.com/WaterLapse-oeX25T0Rzi7
