Tidy Tuesday: Water Sources

By Matthew Henderson in dataviz

This week’s Tidy Tuesday data comes from Water Point Data Exchange (WPDx), a global platform for sharing water point data.

Inspired by David Robinson’s livestream on 4/5/21 I created a faceted map plot showing the locations of different water sources throughout Ethiopia.

<div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;">
  <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" loading="eager" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/5ub92c-5xFQ?autoplay=0&controls=1&end=0&loop=0&mute=0&start=0" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border:0;" title="YouTube video"
  ></iframe>
</div>

This was my first time using Thomas Lin Pedersen’s {ragg} package. It allowed me to use one of my favourite fonts, Cardo.

I was also inspired by the work of Georgios Karamanis and a tweet by Nicola Rennie.
