This short take presents story-mapping as a research technique that incorporates multiple methods and data sources to build visual narratives of individual and collective experiences. The goals of story-mapping are the following: (1) iteratively synthesize the collection, analysis, and representation of spatial, visual, and textual information as a narrative; (2) enable meaningful participation of research participants; and (3) generate a visually compelling product that facilitates dissemination. This article details the motivation, methods, and procedures for story-mapping based on research from Nepal's Kathmandu Valley, which investigated the water-related practices, feelings, and observations of people who secure water for their families.
