SCS hydrological soil groups over South Africa at terrain unit resolution

This raster file contains the SCS-SA classes on a Terrain unit resolution for South Africa as developed by Schulze and Schütte. The attribute table shows the SCS-SA classification (A, A/B, B, B/C, C, C/D, and D). They were assigned a corresponding number in CODE_VAL of A=1, A/B = 2, B = 3, B/C =4, C = 5, C/D = 6, D = 7. Some areas were classified as water and not given an SCS-SA class. The CODE-VAL is 8.
