+# Features & Implementation Details
+
+
 ## Important Links
 
 This project currently uses Tableau to format geospatial input data. Tableau has an extensive library of [tutorials](https://www.tableau.com/resources) and [API documentation](https://www.tableau.com/developer/tools?category=19921).
+
+
+## Features
+
+The Map Dashboard will display 3 types of map data:
+1. Base map using our data from Notion
+2. Water department polygons showing water volume (gradient of blue shades)
+3. Canopy density (using transparency layer or classified zones; gradient of green shades)
+
+There are 2 types of map marker pins; pins can be grouped or clustered:
+1. Plants: green pins
+2. Animals: red pins
+
+Users can hover over marker pins and map data to view a tooltip that displays any of the following information:
+1. Name of the animal or plant
+2. Water volume
+3. Canopy cover
+
+Users can filter the map by:
+- Animal vs plant
+- Water volume
+- Canopy density
