Slope classes distribution (see below for calculation) according to the 2012 land use type. It has been standardized to take into account the same proportion of surface covered by each slope class area in relation to the total watershed area; in that way, land use type area for a given slope classes based on the same surface calculation and so, we represent here the weight of the different land use types for each slope class in the same proportion (Source: 2012 Land use base map prepared by UNEP for the Ecosystem Based Adaptation in Mountain Ecosystem project in Nepal. The classification was undertaken on a 2012 RapidEye satellite image (5 m resolution) using segmentation and object classification method on the eCognition software tool (Sharma et al., 2013))
