Statement

The data sets were processed in Arc GIS (ESRI ArcMap) environment through projection and re-projection to Arc 1960 datum UTM Zone 37S to describe the biophysical characteristics of the area. The basin and sub-basin boundary layers were obtained by delineation in Arc GIS based on 90m DEM, outlets and monitoring points within the river catchment. Soil (from KENSOTER) and Landuse layers based on Landsat (also in archive) were projected, overlaid and clipped to basin and sub-basin boundary. Catchment slope layer was developed based on the 90m DEM (also in archive). Based on KENSOTER database http://data.isric.org/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/73e27136-9efe-49e4-af35-fd98b841d467; Landsat imagery courtesy of the U.S. Geological Survey (Visit the USGS at https://usgs.gov) and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) 90m Digital Elevation Data (Jarvis A., H.I.
