The Water Science Map Gallery

Welcome to the Water Science for School's map gallery. The maps available here are thematic maps called "choropleth maps" that show water use in the U.S. in 2000, by state. Even if you don't know what choropleth maps are, you've probably seen them. They use different colors to represent different ranges of data values. Just select a map from the menu below.
