    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.
