This diagram is presented as 'one of the first illustrations of urban metabolism'. It presents the water flow through Hong Kong and by using a sankey diagram. The resolution is unfortunately not too high but this image does give a good insight into the different sinks and final uses of water in Hong Kong. The curved arrows make for a playful style, while still being clear.
