Éthe 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.
