Reviewer 2 Report

Dear Editor, 

Thank you for the opportunity to revise this paper! I recommend the following major revisions:

1. Please simplify the Fig.2 because it is very hard to follow each step of the worflow. Please add only the essential steps.
2. On which basis did you classified your slope and elevation layer in 5 classes? The same question for distance to streams.
3. Please add the information regarding the aerial images which were used for land cover classification! Also, why didn't use a more advanced classification technique than Maximum Likelihood?
4. Please discuss the issue of different resolution of your classified rasters! I ask you this because you used also the lithology which has not the same scale as the other layers!
5. Did you generated the contours at 5 m from SRTM DEM? If yes, why did you do this?
6. Please separate the Results from Discussions!
7. Please discuss the elements of novelty and also discuss the main drawbacks of your research!
8. Please provide some reasons for which your study deserves to be published in Water!
