Hi @Huang -

This question has been asked many times on the forum, so try doing a search for the error message - [like this](https://community.naturalcapitalalliance.org/search?q=%22bounding%20boxes%20do%20not%20intersect%22) - and see if any of the suggestions help. If they do not help, let us know what you tried and post the whole log file that the model produces (.txt file) in your Workspace.

Hi @Huang ,

The error indicates that your geospatial inputs (rasters and vectors) do not all overlap one another. For instance it appears that the `WATERT.shp` does not overlap the `tif` files `CSJDEM.tif`. Could you open these files in a QGIS or ArcGIS and make sure they have the same projections and are in linear untis of meters?

Per the users guide: [https://storage.googleapis.com/releases.naturalcapitalproject.org/invest-userguide/latest/sdr.html#data-needs](https://storage.googleapis.com/releases.naturalcapitalproject.org/invest-userguide/latest/sdr.html#data-needs)

> Note that all GIS inputs must be in the same projected coordinate system and in linear meter units.

Best,

Doug
