Hello!
I dont have a good classification yet for my country and Id like to use the global landuse and soil classification that SWAT generates with the Global files. However, Im struggling to find any source for the codes that the software generates.
For the project Im working on Im getting the following soil codes:  Be37-3bc-5156, We15-3a-5349, Be40-3b-5159, Nd33-3c-5263, Bc5-3bc-5137, Vp32-3a-5335, Bd8-3bc-5144, Je44-2a-5211 and the following landuse codes:  CRDY, WEWO, GRAS, FOMI, URMD, WETW, SAVA. 
Any clue of where I can get info on these files? I cant even access the global_landuse and global_soil or global_usersoil we select in the HRU window.

Any help appreciated,
-Gabriel

I am not sure what you are looking for. The rasters with the landuse
and soil data are available at https://swat.tamu.edu/data/. The tables
you refer to, plus the plant table defining landuse properties, will be
in your project database.

thank you for your reply.
yes, initially I wanted to know the description of the classes included in the global files, but I did found them in the database. however, Im wondering if there's any documentation on these classes. For example, ET is calculated bases on the properties of the land cover, and Infiltration rates based on the soil types. I know I can tweak these to alter my model, but I would love to know more about these land covers and soils to make informed decisions.

any help is appreciated. thanks!
