| Four study sites with three landscape positions: summit, backslope and footslope, were selected. |
| Only tibial plateau backslope can be created with more precision in the Visionaire group. |
| The backslope of the dam is ballasted with the stone filling. |
| Thus, A and B were along the creek at the footslope, while C was at the backslope and D was at the shoulder. |
| Water flowing down the backslope scoured hollows several metre deep and flooded the former sediment excavation pits. |
| This results in a long and gentle backslope called a dip slope that conforms with the dip of resistant strata, called caprock. |
