In a new study, they worked on the creation of a new set of cards showing the rivers of the world, divided into ocean cathedral pools. In focus. Technology has appeared its Telegram channel.

According to the artist and founder of Grasshoper Geography, digital cartographer Rottert Shuks, for a long time he was looking for cards of rivers that would show what ocean they were in, but could not find them. As a result, he decided to create such a map by himself. It should be noted that this project is still in the background, and its start took place a few months ago.
It took hundreds of hours of data editing and map, but now the authors are finally ready to present them to the world. The new set of cards offers a global map of the world, as well as separate breakdowns by several countries or individual regions. According to the team, the most amazing situation with river drainage looks in Syria, Ethiopia, Mexico, Iceland, Australia and Canada. The United States is also an interesting example: the rivers flow into the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic Ocean.
And in the West there is also a region called a large swimming pool, which is a free pool - a region where the river network is completely isolated from the oceans. It should be noted that the rivers on the map are marked with 5 colors, depending on which ocean they flow, for example: a giant baseless pool also covers most of Western and Central Asia.
