Hi,
I have all data pertaining to my catchment for hydrological modelling in SWAT but the soil data for my region is not fully available.The FAO database is also not complete for my region. kindly let me know how can I proceed further in SWAT. I have no option to change my study area.
Hi Jochen ,
thanks for your reply. i have seen the link you have sent as per the soil map their is one classification given for my area of interest. my question is can we successfully do HRU Analysis with only one soil classification?
Soils data can be difficult in some areas. There is a global dataset that is derived from FAO harmonised version. You can try using it wit SWAT.
http://www.waterbase.org/
you can take it from soil survey department or can use gis soil input data.
the data is not available with soil survey department. in FAO HWSD only one soil group is classified for the entire catchment. would it be enough for SWAT Model?
Try this link, either of them will work!
