Engineering capability (engineering_capability)

Engineering capability for pond construction obtained by combining soil texture and slope. Soil texture was interpreted in terms of suitability for pond construction. Soil texture data was obtained from the FAO-UNESCO Soil Map of Africa at 1:5 million scale. This dataset includes three soil texture classes: coarse, medium and fine and these are given for the dominant soils of each association and refer only to the upper 30cm. Slope was interpreted in terms of suitability of topography for pond construction. Slope data was also obtained from the FAO-UNESCO Soil Map of Africa at 1:5 million scale. This dataset includes three slopes classes which reflect the topography in which the soil association occurs.
