4b: Adding and Snapping Waterlines

In this exercise, I configured the snapping options to ensure accurate alignment when adding data to the dataset. I identified and added two missing waterlines to the existing infrastructure map. To maintain connectivity, I utilized vertices to ensure the new lines accurately passed through the locations of existing valves and hydrants. I created a new line feature, ensuring that snapping was properly functioning to connect the new waterlines seamlessly. After constructing the new line, I entered relevant attribute data, selecting the pipe diameter from a predefined range and specifying the material of the pipe, ensuring that the dataset was comprehensive and detailed. This exercise is applicable in urban infrastructure development, particularly in the management of water distribution systems. By configuring snapping options and accurately adding missing waterlines, engineers and planners can ensure a complete representation of the water network.
