Unable to Locate QSWAT+ Download Link and Installation Instructions
Mahesh Maskey
Dear QSWAT Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I am currently working on a watershed modeling project using QSWAT, but I have encountered repeated errors related to missing fields such as PolygonId and LINKNO. Based on the documentation and community discussions, it seems these issues are better addressed in QSWAT+, which integrates more effectively with the SWAT+ framework and Editor.
However, I have been unable to find an active download link or installation repository for QSWAT+. The XML link referenced in older guides (https://swatplus.gitlab.io/qswatplus/qswatplus.xml) now returns a 404 error, and the plugin does not appear in the QGIS Plugin Manager.
I am a beginner to SWAT+, although I am a quick learner with prior experience in APEX and hydrologic modeling. I would be grateful if you could kindly share:
-
The current, official download source or GitHub repository for QSWAT+.
-
Any updated installation instructions compatible with recent QGIS versions (e.g., 3.28 or 3.34 LTR).
Additionally, if anyone in the community is interested in unpaid, voluntary collaboration or knowledge exchange, I would be glad to connect. Let’s learn, teach, and grow together as we explore SWAT+, APEX, and related hydrologic modeling tools.
Thank you very much for your time and for maintaining such valuable resources for the watershed and hydrologic modeling community.
Warm regards,

start from https://swat.tamu.edu/software/plus/.
The GitHub page for the very latest installers is
https://github.com/swat-model, but to use that you need to know what you
are looking for. There is guidance in the first link above.
