| We also created an erosion
potential model. This model
displays the erodibility of the land in the watershed and the potential for
it to impact water quality. The
impact was determined by accounting for proximity to lakes and streams. Erosion adds nutrients to the lake as
the soil is swept away by runoff.
We used 5 input maps to model this. Soil, Slope, Land use type, proximity to lakes, and
proximity and streams. |
