•  Oppose --WarX 09:30, 25 October 2007 (UTC) Legend looks awful, unneeded margins around image.

• Poor USGS :-). Lycaon 09:35, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
• The need for the margins is illustrated in the article on the English wikipedia (here). And though if I had to make such an illustration from scratch, I would have placed the legend differently, I still think it works the way it currently is placed. It is readable at sizes useful for inclusion in articles. Lycaon 07:22, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Comment The legend is in a weird place - I think it would work better on the right or left sides. Doodle-doo Ħ 19:46, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Comment It's unclear to me, as a non-specialist, what the significance of the 'low hydraulic-conductivity confining unit' is. How does the water get into and out of it? Does the water travel along it? Is 'low hydraulic-conductivity confining unit' the correct technical English expression? ('unit' sounds very odd). --MichaelMaggs 06:46, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

• The concept of an Aquifer is explained on en:. The image is a vectorized version of a drawing by the USGS geologists, whom I trust to know what they are talking about ;-). Not being a geologist myself, I have to rely on specialists for the correct terminology. Lycaon 07:22, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
