- Determine the watershed area that
drains Bell Valley, in Eastern San Diego County, with its mouth at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The mouth is located approximately at 116o33'50" W. Longitude.
The watershed crosses the U.S.-Mexico border from north to south, approximately 3.7 mi east of Tecate Road.
Recommended procedure:
- Use TOPO! software (installed in only a few computers in PS231A, borrow disk from assistant) to determine watershed limits.
- Scan the delimited watershed (using the scanners in PS231B or E221).
- Take scanned image to CEE Computer Lab and import to AutoCAD.
- Adjust scale to measure the watershed area.
- Use TOPO! (installed in CEE Computer Lab) to measure the average slope along the principal stream.
Measure average slope as:
Express slope in ft/mi and m/m.
