Determine the soil type most representative of each subarea, between 2-172 for normal soil conditions and 202-372 for burned soil conditions. Soil type maps from LACDPW are used to find which soil is predominant in the subarea. This procedure has been automated in WMS; a digital soil map may be imported into WMS and overlaid on the watershed to be modeled. WMS will then calculate which soil covers the majority of the area of a subarea. This function is part of “mapping MODRAT attributes”; a full description can be found in the Map MODRAT Attributes section. If the watershed being modeled has not been graphically defined in WMS, enter the appropriate soil number based on visual inspection.
