Working with GWflow

[dr.khale...@gmail.com]

Dear Chris George

I've encountered this error when I chose to run the option "use GWflow" in the second step (creating HRU) using the new version of QSWAT+ (2.5.3).

ImportError: The 'read_file' function requires the 'pyogrio' or 'fiona' package, but neither is installed or imports correctly. Importing fiona resulted in: DLL load failed while importing _env: The specified module could not be found. Importing pyogrio resulted in: No module named 'pyogrio'

I have successfully installed the  pyogrio and fiona using the pip install commend and tried to set the environment variables in the path correctly, but unfortunately, the error still exists.  Any tips to overcome this problem ?!

Thanks in advance.
