Soil series
Here is a table of six of the 17 soils in the watershed.  The first four are the top four soils by area.  Notice that all are rated as not suitable.  In fact, 92% of the watershed is covered by soil types with a not suitable rating.  We ranked all the soils on a 1 to 9 scale according to this suitability.  1= suitable, 5=moderate suit, and 9=unsuitable.  The scale is necessary to quantify suitability so the software has values in the same format as the second input mapÉ
