Flood Hazard and Soil Mapping
This presentation have allowed me to explore the watershed's neighbourhoods, and which of the residential areas who will need to buy themselves a flood insurance.
On top of that I further investigated which areas that carry the best soil in terms of absorbing precipitation and water from floods.

Nikolai, I thought you did a really good job of explaining the different flood zones and possible risks of flooding. Also, your definition of alluvial soils was, I am sure, very helpful to a reader who might not be knowledgeable in agronomy. In general, your whole blog has been very well thought-out, well-referenced and useful to your neighbors in learning more about their watershed.
