Waterlines are one of those cartographic elements that can separate a good map from a really good map. But they can be tricky, since they sometimes insist on being wantonly unruly and wildly overlapping each other, without regard for good geometry or good taste. But beautiful waterlines that obey physics and aesthetics can be yours by setting two simple parameters: "multipart" features and "accurate" offsets. Here's a 3 minute video that probably should have been more like 1 minute.
