View the interactive infographic in a new window. Both the large circles on the left, as well as the small ones in the upper right, are clickable.

Tulp created this interactive infographic, which was inspired by the colors and shapes of water itself. The visualization was created using the new framework D3. Note:Tulp suggests that the tool works best in Google Chrome and Safari, but says, “FireFox is too slow for the animations, unfortunately.”

See a short video of the animation below:
