Charted: Share of Freshwater Resources by Country 🚣
Why it spread
This post from @VisualCap on 2025-04-02 spread because a polished donut chart that explains itself made a dry topic like the percentage of world freshwater by country easy to grasp, drawing 23,644 views, 312 likes, 59 reposts, 7 quotes and 93 saves.
What worked
- The chart is a donut that shows the percentage of world freshwater by country, a simple share-of-total framing that readers can read at a glance.
- Design polish is high and self labelling is high, so the chart explains itself without extra text.
- It is branded and shows a source line, and the source reach sits in the top quarter, which supports trust and distribution.
What to borrow
We could use the same share-of-total donut form and self labelling for our own data, keeping a visible source line and a clear title so the chart explains itself.
Careful
Do not over-read the quote rate, which is below average, and do not assume the same result without the account's reach and branding.
