Slope Map
The slope map defines areas of equal gradient. The slope gradient has significant impacts on land-use due to amount and rate of water run-off affecting soil loss and water storage. The depth of soil is often related to the slope which defines the site as erosional or depositional.
The map can be used together with the drainage network to improve the layout of paddocks and design contour banks to reduce water erosion. Useful for planning farm activities that need to avoid the steeper slopes.
