World Water Day – National Geographic Special Edition on Water
March 22nd was “World Water Day“. This day gave reason for National Geographic to devote a full issue to the topic of Water. Even more, they let you explore this issue online, for free, and with a few extras such as interactive maps and background stories. It really is a nicely done interactive version, taking advantage of browsing, searching, video and audio. The only unfortunate thing is that it is based on flash.
