Notes de l'éditeur
- Slide from ESRI presentation for GIS Day And correlated the location of the victim’s homes to the source of their drinking water. – A pattern is revealed. He determined that the majority of those who died had gotten their drinking water from the Broad Street water pump and not from bad air coming from the cemetery. After closing that pump the number of cases of cholera dropped dramatically. It turned out that the sewer pipes, buried about 22 feet down, where leaking into the shallow water wells; the shallow wells were only 28 feet deep. The Broad Street pump was only one of many shallow water wells in London. The deeper wells had a thicker buffer of soil between them and the leaking sewer pipes and therefore were less likely to get contaminated. The maps Dr. Snow made constitute a classic use of geographic information to draw epidemiological conclusions. Today, we might use the same principals to locate the cause of an outbreak of West Nile Virus, avian flu, or an unexplained source of food poisoning.
