FAO Soil inputs

[Biemba mwangala]

Hello everyone, am very new to QSWAT+, am currently preparing a model with a drainage area of  663 840 Km2. I have a challenge in the preparation of the soil input data. Each time i try to load the soil data, its giving me an error of "Unknown soil value" or "Soil name Fx (and perhaps others) not defined in FAO_usersoil table in the database". Am kindly asking if there is any who has used FAO in QSWAT+ to help how i can load the Soil input data.

Regards

Bob

You can find global soil maps at https://swat.tamu.edu/data/

These are not very detailed, but can be used if you can find nothing better.

You can find some help in preparing such maps in
https://swat.tamu.edu/media/114679/globaldatav1.pdf. You will find the
lookup table for these soils is already in your QSWAT+ project database
as global_soils and the usersoil table is global_usersoil.
