Figure 3: Update Local Municipality Coverage Map

[seabilwe]

Ref: https://github.com/kartoza/WBR-SEMP/issues/56

• [x] The Map of Waterberg District with local municipal boundaries and the core, buffer & transition zones of proposed BR are shown as lines (not shading).
• [x] Maybe add main towns too if it is not too crowded?
• [x] Use less colour to represent municipalities

Updated Local Municipality Coverage Map. Note: Main Towns were not added.

MUCH more pleasant !!! ;-) Excellent - Thank you Seabilwe. Just another pedantic point - because you have softened all the colours/shading, the "old" WBR boundary now very strong - could you make line lighter (0.5 point?) & dash or dotted rather than solid, altho TBH I would remove old boundaries altogether. Also, the current shading og the proposed WBR hides the municipality boundaries - maybe add municipality boundaries as lines at 0.5, 0.75 or 1 point?? ONE FINAL POINT ( & please refer to Gavin) to my mind the inclusion of Blouberg municipality confuses the AOI (& this figure - also in Fig 11) - I would exclude Blouberg & Aganang. But I am happy to be over-ridden. One final point - again for the international reader, probably best to put a heavt international border in, & label Botswana & SA (eg using bottom left quadrant of map) . Thanks

Blouberg has WBR existing and proposed core areas in it and Aganang is also part of the AOI as it encompasses a large part of the Mogalakwena catchment and integrates nicely with the Vhembe BR.

The line width of the municipality are now thick, for better visibility. The old BR has also been removed.

Mr Pedantic here again - it is a fine line between clear illustration & OTT or too timid ... Here we are simply illutrating the placement of the AOI, the proposed WBR, & the LMs. again the BR zonation interferes with the other info - perhaps again we simply place a solid boundary around the perimeter of the WBR, and don't bother with shading of zones?? Also, we are interested here concerns the LM boundaries and the WBR - if you retain the WBR zonal shading, but bring all the boundary lines to the front, does this make it all clearer??When one zooms in to these maps, everything is clear - simply the scale when pasted on to an A4 Portrait sheet, these differentiations are not too clear. Hopefully, such playing around with line width & sending to front/back is simply a few miniytes work to see which options look best?
