Here is the model, with
scores from 1-9. Areas with low erosion potential are in green and those that
have high potential erosion are in purple. The areas of greatest concern were those that have erosion
potential levels between 7.1 and 7.75.
These areas were predominantly located on the eastern shore of the
lake. Residential and cleared
land is highly erodible. Because this model accounted for proximity, areas
closer to the lake have a higher erosion potential than those that are
farther away. This allowed us to
consider the impact of erosion on lake water quality.
