Slope Map

�Ranked for suitability on a 1 to 9 scale:

�Steep slope = 9

�Gentle slope = 1

�

�Range = 0o to 28o

�

�Created from digital elevation maps


	�the slope map. Here the range of slopes in the watershed is ranked on a 1-9 scale. The range was zero to 28 degrees. Every three degrees was given a suitability rating. 1 represents the lowest slope and has the best suitability and 9 represents the steepest slope and has the worst suitability. Effluent flows too quickly on steep slopes to be sufficiently absorbed.
