Flag intersections by waterbodies

[ronnyhdez]

I have been trying to determine which abandoned well polygons intersect the 30-meter buffer zone around the waterbodies. However, at this buffer distance, it appears that no abandoned wells intersect it.

To validate the correctness of the code, I increased the buffer zone to an exaggerated value of 900 meters. With this larger buffer, I observed some changes in the intersection values, as shown below ("intersects_buffer", "intersects_waterbody")

With no intersection:

With intersection:

I exported the result of this operation with two new columns: intersecting buffer area, and intersecting waterbodies area. It worked! and it returned the exact number of abandoned wells that I had originally.

There are just 483 abandoned wells polygons that intersect the waterbodies (just by buffer)

These are the abandoned wells that intersect the buffers of water bodies:
