ii) INDIRECT METHOD
DIRECT METHOD
In direct method, the points of equal elevation on the terrain are physically located and then plotted on map. This is a very tedious process and requires more time and resources than the indirect method.
INDIRECT METHOD
In the indirect method of contouring on of these three methods are adopted:
A) Cross Section Method
B) Squares Or Grid Method
C) Tacheometric Method
