The following maps present key spatial data for the La Silla Watershed, including Elevation, Flow Accumulation (representing the main river system), and Human Settlement Footprint in population count per raster cell. Flow Accumulation was calculated using ArcGISPro’s Hydrology – Watershed Tools, while population estimates, totaling 226,918 inhabitants, were derived from the Human Settlement Footprint dataset using the Zonal Statistics Tool. These visualizations provide a comprehensive overview of both the natural and human landscape in the study area.
