This document aims to validate the Soil Vulnerability Index (SVI) for identifying Critical Source Areas (CSAs) of pollution in two watersheds in the Chesapeake Bay region. The SVI ranks soil vulnerability based on characteristics like drainage and slope. It was applied to the Tuckahoe Creek Watershed and Greensboro Watershed, which have different soil types. Hydrologic modeling outputs from SWAT were used as a reference to validate the accuracy of the SVI classifications in each watershed. The results suggest the SVI performs differently depending on landscape characteristics, so multiple approaches should be used to identify CSAs to inform conservation practices.
