Dominance threshold50%
Minimum meq-% for a group — Ca+Mg, Na+K, HCO₃+CO₃ or Cl+SO₄ — to name the water type. Below it that half of the name is “Mixed”.
Draws the dominant-ion fields A–G on the triangles, which follow the threshold above, and water types 1–4 on the diamond, which are fixed on 50% majorities.
Leaves only the keys on the figure and lists the names in a legend — cleaner when the plot is crowded.
