Respected All
The data which is available at https://swat.tamu.edu/data/india-dataset/ , the file named "SOIL_WATERBASE.7z" on this link has only the raster along with "VALUE" and "NAME" of the soil series, which is taken/subsetted from HWSD_FAO,
But the database file require a large number of inputs of different soil properties, for these soil series like, compaction, number of layers, Texture, Bulk density, Available water capacity, Proportion of sand silt and clay, etc, in the dbf file, which has these columns
OBJECTID
MUID
SEQN
SNAM
S5ID
CMPPCT
NLAYERS
HYDGRP
SOL_ZMX
ANION_EXCL
SOL_CRK
TEXTURE
SOL_Z1
SOL_BD1
SOL_AWC1
SOL_K1
SOL_CBN1
CLAY1
SILT1
SAND1
ROCK1
SOL_ALB1
USLE_K1
SOL_EC1
SOL_Z2
SOL_BD2
SOL_AWC2
SOL_K2
SOL_CBN2
CLAY2
SILT2
SAND2
ROCK2
SOL_ALB2
USLE_K2
SOL_EC2
and so on_____________till 10 layers (if available)
The another file named " soil_HWSD_FAO.7z " has its global raster without any information about the soil properties which are used in input database.
I have sub-setted/clipped the indian raster from the global,
although the global raster was missing spatial referencing,
So if someone is sub-setting the same for their area of interest, then you have to manually geo-reference the subsetted image to use it while creating HRU's.
Kindly share if you have any idea about, the source of the soil properties for these soil series.
Download the soil dataset of India for SWAT model :-
I have tried to compile the soil data of SWAT for India from FAO_HWSD database and its raster in LCC projection (along with excel import file and lookup table).
Just rename the imported excel sheet to usersoil in the SWAT2012.mdb file in the ArcSWAT folder located at database folder in C:\ drive or any other drive where you have installed the ArcSWAT.
You may find the zip file here as attachment (You may be requiring winzip to extract this data).
I tried downloading the files but they are password protected
..please tell the password
Hi Abhilash... Can you share the same password to my email.. I'm also working on swat and in that I have struck at soil informatio n...
