Download the new release of ArcSWAT at http://swat.tamu.edu/software/arcswat/

Release notes:

IMPORTANT: Older SWAT projects created prior to the current ArcSWAT version should run the new “Database Update” utility found under the “Write Input Tables” menu. This utility will update the tables in your SWAT project database (e.g., “gw”, “hru”) to make sure all the correct columns are in the table and assign default values for the new columns. The utility will also copy new parameter “range” tables from the current SWAT2012.mdb distributed with the ArcSWAT to the SWAT2012.mdb database associated with your current ArcSWAT project. You should select all tables when you run the database update.

  1. Automatic elevation band delineation: Inputs to allow automatic delineation of elevation bands have been added to the HRU Definition interface as a new tab to the form. Users can now specify the minimum difference between subbasin minimum elevation and maximum elevation in order for bands to be delineated, as well as the number of elevation bands for those subbasins meeting the criteria. Elevation bands are delineated such that each band has equal area.
  2. Subbasin elevation band re-calculations in “SUB” file edit: When editing subbasin parameters, users can now change the number of elevation bands for the subbasin, and the interface will automatically determine the elevation band elevations and fractions. For this to be functional, the SWAT model will need to have had basin delineation occur with ArcSWAT Version 2012.10_1.17.
  3. From the “Run SWAT’ interface, users can now choose which RCH, SUB, and HRU parameters will be printed in the output files.
  4. Additional error checking was added to soils database code to look for missing soils.
  5. The CROP table in the SWAT2012.mdb database was updated with new crops
  6. When using the US STATSGO soils database, the selection of which component to choose was modified from the old method of choosing the first SEQN value, to now choose the component with the maximum percentage of the map unit.
  7. Units for rooting depth printed in the .SOL file were corrected.
  8. The default operation schedules in the “OpSchedules” table in the SWAT2012.mdb database can now be date based in addition to heat unit based.
  9. A new definition for the iEvent variable was incorporated.
  10. The input file formatting of observed reservoir outflows was modified to be able to accommodate larger values.
  11. A new HRU delineation method based on a user’s target number of HRUs in the watershed was added.
  12. The Cropland Data Layer (CDL) lookup table was added into the SWAT2012.mdb database, and as an option in the Land Use analysis tab during land use/soils/slope overlay.
  13. A bug in how the output.mgt file was importing into the SwatOutput.mdb database was fixed.
  14. The required location for custom SWAT executables (swatUser.exe) was changed to be the project’s TxtInOut folder. This allows different custom SWAT executables to be used with different projects.

Dear Jaclyn Tech,

Thanks for the info. I have downloaded it.However, when I tried to do HRU definition, I got an error saying:
....The Microsoft Jet Database Engine cannot find the input table or query ElevationBandrng....

I have checked it in SWAT2012.mdb, there is no table for
ElevationBandrng. Could you inform us where to get the table so that we could include it in SWAT2012.mdb..

Thanks,

Yuli

Hi Chris,

I found a solution. The problem seems to be that the table ElevationBand does not get created in the project SWAT2012.mdb. It is however present in the master SWAT2012.mdb that is installed in C:\SWAT\ArcSWAT\Databases. So it seems that you just need to open the both versions and copy this table from the master to the project SWAT2012.mdb.

Dear Users, 
I have recently incorporated the elevation band into my existing model, and it is showing that some file is missing while creating HRUs. This problem is specifically related to the elevation band generation because I am not getting this error message if I didn#t turned on the elevation band tab.
I have attached the snapshot of the error message in the mail.
Thanks in advance for any feedback

I overcome the error just by adding that file into my .mdb database and it runs perfectly now.

Hi Bhumika Uniyal
How did you create the elevation band file? Could you give me some advice?
Another thing that confuses me is that I did not encounter with this error when I attempted to run SWAT of this version previously. It seems that some bugs may exist.

Kind Regards
Sicheng Wan

Hello! 
I'm facing the same problem as yours. As you said you, you solved the issue by adding 'tblOutputVars' to model database. I did so but it still showing the same error. Model is trying to search for input file with name 'SubElevPct' which could nowhere be found in SWAT database. Can you help is some way.
