This animated scatter plot visualizes New York City water consumption and population data from the City of New York dataset, with each data point rendered as a water droplet shape using SVG path commands. The droplets drop into place sequentially via `transition().delay()`, scaling from zero to full size. A linear gradient fills each droplet with a water-like blue, while a background pattern displays a rain cloud image. Hovering a droplet reveals its year, consumption, population, and per-capita values through an HTML tooltip. The visualization uses D3 scales, axes, and custom SVG patterns to convey the relationship between consumption and population over time.
