Dryfall duration map, basic map for the Zoute Ecotopen Westerschelde 1996

An ecotope map was made of the Westerschelde in 1996. A salty ecotope map is built up by merging several layers of information from the intertidal area: soil height map (height and depth), geomorphological map, dry-fall duration map, flow map and salt map. The drying period is based on the soil height map 1996 and the water levels that occurred in the period 1993 to 1996. The drying time is calculated with the M2 model.
