In "Setting up your workplace" section - re: Importing DEM data
What format was the original data in? Do you have general tips for users for getting and importing this kind of data?
Re: coordinates used, e.g. when specifying an outlet location
- remember, the coordinates could be in other systems - in your project you used UTM (MTM?), so northings and eastings are appropriate, but there are other possibilities - could make instructions more general
Slope
When you generate slope maps, they can be in degrees or percent slope. Point this out to the user?
Wetness Index
- would be useful to explain a bit more what you are trying to do here (what the index is used for), and why there is a 2.718282 in the formula (natural logarithm)
