what I was achieving with this project was to create a map that was ocular coded to show the public schools in the Washington DC area as well as the school walking areas and the distances, which are shown by colours that depend on walking distance from the schools. The tools I used to achieve this required me to expand the layers, make them visible, change symbol being used, and change the colours.

I would be able to use this exercise in an environmental application specifically in water management. The tools I used today could be applied for water line and hydrant locations displaying their coordinates around a specific area. The colours would be helpful to show their distance from the main treatment plant.
