Oktoberfest ends this weekend. Germany is fifth in the world in beer.

It was second for 32 straight years to 1992. The US led for 41 and lost it to China in 2002, having held on by half a billion litres the year before.

China peaked in 2013 and has fallen since. Data: FAOSTAT.

With both Lake Powell and Lake Mead at record-lows, here’s a look at how their water levels have varied since Powell was filled in 1980. Neither has recovered from a severe drought in the early 2020s, while Colorado River flows continue to drop.

Day 10/16 · Japan Trip visualised 🇯🇵

Worked on the interaction and UI today 💻
