Hello

Can SWAT-CUP calibrate parameters for each elevation band? If yes, how?

Thank you

In the utility programs directory of swatcup you will find instructions for creating elevation band.

Create Elevation band using utility program or writing your own code, then you can use these elevation bands for many purpose and calibration can be done accordingly.....examples are: (1) create .sno files and you can calibrate .sno parameters for each bands (2) use of PLAPS and TLAPS (in .bsn) has their calculation procedure based on elevation bands (see theoretical manual of SWAT).....

Dear,

Copy the utility program folder from Swat-CUP directory and paste the folder into your project directory.

....\SWAT-CUP\ExternalData (utilityprograms -> copy this folder)

Hello, 

I am having trouble running the replace.exe and Elev_band_CUP.exe programs -- when I try to run them from the command line, I am receiving the error "cannot open elev_band.txt". Why is this? Does any one have any insight? 

Thanks!

what if the difference in elevation in the catchment is very small hence no elevation bands can be created example catchment maximum height is 200m above sea level then still is a must to fix PLAPS and TLAPS in SWAT-CUP?

Hello everyone,

I was also not getting the elevation bands in the Utility programmes, hence I copied it from SWAT_CUP folder to my project directory. Still wasn't able to see the elevation bands option, I tried running that Instead using the Copied folder from Swat-CUP and got stuck in Elev_band_cup.exe. Please tell me how to proceed further

I have also attached the SS of the Command Promt.

Thanks and Regards

 had this same issue that I prepared every file right but after I ran the Elev_band_Cup.exe, the model.in file was empty. I found in this group the way to solve it:
If you use QSWAT to create the SWAT project, then the format of TopoRep.txt from QSWAT is different from ArcSWAT. We need to modify each "Subbasin" into "Subbasin # " in the TopoRep file from QSWAT. Then the issue can be solved.
(example: Replace Subbasin 1 for Subbasin # 1 in the TopoRep).
The other cause of the issue can be tha number of subbasins you write in the "elev_band.def" file. If you deleted the Subbasins with a difference of ElevMax-ElevMin < 500, then you should not write the entire numer of subbasins you have in your proyect, but the numer you used for the elev_band.txt file. (See step 7 in the ReadMe file: 7- Edit the file elev_band.def with the correct number of elevation bands and the final number of subbasins (rows) in step 6 above)

Best regards,

Rayén Rivera
