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.
