Positives+and+Negatives+for+Settlement+in+the+South

(fresh because it's coming from the top of the mountains) (can swap if one is low) ensuring a large variety of food sources
 * =**Positive**= || =**Minus**= || =**Interesting**= ||
 * * Can use gravity to pipe fresh water from up stream
 * Unlike some of the other settlements, this settlement has two rivers close by there is a choice of water supply
 * Beach about 5km away so able to fish and land small boats
 * Close to fertile land
 * Our settlement is the closest to the dense tropical trees thus

by the distance of the contour lines making access to resources easier. from the fertile areas to our settlement. easier to reach higher grounds quickly salty because of the proximity to the sea and the affect of the tide typically for these latitudes recieve monsoon lows and sometimes tropical cyclones on the west. Main transport could be boat or we'll need to build roads and bridges beach beause of cyclones which means a mode of transport from boats to the settlement would need to be in place || * The settlement would be in the path of the south east trade winds which would allow us to sail/trade with other islands (using sail boats which is sustainable)
 * Close to building materials (timber in the forest)
 * The hill is less steep near our settlement as shown
 * Easier to build a track on a less steep gradient.
 * The rivers near by can also be used for transport.
 * The river in (4D to 3C) could be used to transport resources
 * Area most likely has coconut plants which have a number of uses and attract large coconut crabs
 * Reeds found in the area can be useful as a building material and sewerage filter
 * Our settlement is in a good position especially for cyclones and tsunamis becasue of the backdrop of hill it would make it a lot
 * Our settlement would be good for trading things like energy (produced from the wind) and we could trade the food collected from the forest area
 * As our settlement has some flatter areas to the east we could grow crops and raise smaller farm animals (chickens, ducks, etc) || * Long way from a safe harbour
 * The lower reaches of the river could be
 * Get the south easterly weather patterns that
 * Blocked by river to the east and mountains
 * Settlement couldn't be too close to the
 * Windy area so could use wind as a source for energy
 * Nice sandy, sheltered bay area ||
