Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

What an oddly difficult guide to read

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I like it. Feels intuitive to me.

It's terrible. It's missing an explanation for what the outflow part from "groundwater" is.

It isn't showing an outflow from the groundwater slice, each circle is an expanded view of the small slice in the circle above. The only thing missing is the percentage of the small slice in the circle where it begins. The soil, atmosphere, and organism water are not falling under groundwater, they are just much smaller slices of the freshwater circle.

If you want to make it much easier to read, separate saltwater and freshwater, and change the bottom charts percentages from 52% and 38% to 0.52% and 0.38%.

That doesn't make sense. Water in living organisms, water vapour in the air and in the soil are not surface water.

This chart is truly terrible throughout.

I don't find it difficult to read. Most of the freshwater consists of groundwater and ice; the rest is made up of what's shown in the circle at the bottom.

It wouldn't have been hard to just include those last three percentages.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I'll give you that. No more wheels, but value labels for those would have been good.
