Food, water, waste and transport reach us through connected people, resources, rules and actions. A system map makes hidden dependencies visible.

A glass of tap water

The glass depends on a source, treatment, pumps, pipes, electricity, workers, testing, household storage and drainage. A failure at one step can affect every step after it.
