为城市供水系统创造复原力需要对基础设施、生态和文化之间的界面进行创新性的主题可视化，以便让非专业观众参与到政策制定过程中。桑基图（一种混合桑基图/流量图）将源和汇之间流量的系统核算纳入一个空间框架。这使得视觉变量的层次结构编码的环境条件和历史数据，提供了一个丰富的多元背景下支持公共话语，政策制定和系统操作。这篇文章的特色是洛杉矶渡槽系统（加州，美国）的桑基地图（未按比例）。
Creating resilience for urban water supply systems requires innovative thematic visualizations of the interface between infrastructure, ecology, and culture to viscerally engage lay audiences in the policy making process. Sankey maps (a hybrid Sankey diagram/flow map) embed the systemic accounting of flows between sources and sinks into a spatial framework. This allows a hierarchy of visual variables to encode environmental conditions and historical data, providing a rich multivariate context supporting public discourse, policy making, and system operations. The article features a Sankey map of the Los Angeles Aqueduct system (California, USA) (not to scale).
