2. To analyze the topography of a site, one can follow these steps:
1. Obtain the site plan or map that shows the property boundaries and elevation contours.
3. 2. Determine the elevation range of the site (highest and lowest point) by examining the contour lines.
3. Identify any natural features such as hills, valleys, slopes, or depressions.
4. 4. Evaluate the drainage patterns and identify any potential drainage issues.
5. 5. Analyze how the topography may impact site access, visibility, building design, and construction.
6. Consider the potential impacts of natural hazards such as landslides, floods, and earthquakes on the site.
6. 7. Use this information to inform design and development decisions for the site, and consider any necessary
adjustments to the plan to ensure optimal use and safety of the land.
