def ecohydrolib.solim.inference.inferSoilPropertiesForSSURGOAndTerrainData	(		config,
			outputDir,
			shpFilepath,
			demFilepath,
			featureAttrList = ATTRIBUTES
	)

Infer soil properties from SSURGO and terrain data using SOLIM framework.

Parameters

config	ConfigParser containing the section 'SOLIM' and option 'PATH_OF_SOLIM'
outputDir	String representing the absolute/relative path of the directory into which shapefile should be written
shpFilepath	String representing the absolute path of the shapefile containing SSURGO features
featureAttrList	List containing the SSURGO attributes for which soil property inference is to be performed
demFilepath	String representing the absolute path of the DEM terrain data

Returns

Dictionary containing the keys for each soil attribute and values of the names of the raster files generated for that attribute

Exceptions
