Karte zeigt die Länder der Welt, in denen man Leitungswasser trinken kann

Was bei Kottke nicht steht, aber bei Strange Maps, You can drink the tap water in these 50 countries — maybe:

It’s not so simple

Even countries in the clean tap water club may have areas and periods when the quality of tap water falls below the drinkability threshold. Flint, Michigan was one example. But the inverse also applies.

The map above was produced by QS Supplies — fittingly, a supplier of taps. They also made the infographic below, which captures the more finely graded differences in tap water quality between countries.

„The map above“ meint die auch hier zu sehende Karte; „the infographic below“ meint eine zweite Abbildung (Direktlink), wo sich zeigt, dass beispielsweise in Deutschland in einigen (wenigen) Gebieten Verbesserungspotential besitzt. Zu dieser Grafik gibt es auch eine Info:

The graph uses data from Yale University’s Environmental Performance Index (EPI), which rates water quality based on the number of disability-adjusted life-years lost per 100,000 persons — the so-called DALY rate — due to unsafe drinking water. On the graph, countries with an EPI score of 100 have the cleanest water and are in the top 5th percentile. However, the lower the number, the worse the DALY rate due to dirty tap water.
