みずのゆくえ: Follow Your Town's Water
A Japanese civic data explorer traces tap water from rivers, dams, and wells through treatment plants, households, and wastewater systems.
Field notes
The project turns municipal water data into a set of navigable journeys rather than a single quality score. Its tools connect hardness and mineral content to everyday uses such as coffee, tea, cooking, bread, miso, and aquariums, while separate views trace more than 2,600 rivers and identify intake and wastewater facilities. The source list includes 2023 water-quality statistics, 2023 municipal accounts, 2024 wastewater data, and environmental monitoring datasets.
