4c: Modifying Water Infrastructure Map

In this exercise, I modified geographic features to improve the accuracy of the water infrastructure map. I began by dragging points along an existing waterline to reposition them accurately under the road, correcting discrepancies in the map's representation. This adjustment ensured that the waterlines appeared in their correct geographical locations. Additionally, I split existing polygons where necessary to reflect changes in infrastructure and then merged them back together to maintain a cohesive dataset. After these modifications, I focused on refining the lines and points to ensure all features were correctly represented, resulting in a more accurate depiction of the water distribution system. This exercise is applicable in urban planning and infrastructure management, particularly in ensuring the accurate representation of water distribution networks. By correcting the positioning of waterlines and other features, planners can better analyze the infrastructure's layout and its integration with other urban elements, such as roads. This accuracy is crucial for effective maintenance and emergency response planning, as it allows for timely interventions in case of leaks or failures.
