Uses of GIS Analysis
�Surveying
–Land Use Analysis
�Modeling
–Septic Suitability Model
–Erosion Potential Model
–Potential Erosion Impact Model
Specifically GIS was employed in two ways within our study. GIS was used to survey the China Lake watershed as a part of the land use survey. Secondly, GIS was employed to create models of the China Lake watershed. These models include, the septic suitability model, the erosion potential model and the potential erosion impact model.
