Water Logic Tool

Water Logic is a technique developed by Edward de Bono to help analyze and visualize the way you are thinking about a particular problem or issue. This approach helps you to see which are the key relationships, linked problems and other aspects. It is quite simple to do and can be powerful.

Here is an explanation of the technique and some examples.

The application below allows you to build a simple Water Logic picture automatically by entering the issues. It uses the Mermaid flowchart library

Use the Mermaid format to specify your Water Logic chart (there is an assumed "graph TD" at the beginning).
