Local Recharge output missing

Software Support
1

Hey there :slight_smile:

I have a question, I am running the SWY model and I have been checking the output files, but somehow I do not get any tif-file for L_[Suffix].tif (type: raster; units: mm, but should be interpreted as relative values, not absolute): Map of local recharge $$ values. Just for the other local recharge maps, as avail or sum. As far as I understood, the L_suffix values are the actual recharge for each pixel that was calculated by the software, so I would be most interested in having these results. Am I missing sth or how can I get these tiffiles?

All the best and thanks in advance,

Anne

Hi Anne -

It’s strange that you’re not getting L_[Suffix].tif. Is the model completing successfully, or are there any errors in the log file? If there’s anything suspect in the log file, please post it here - thanks.

Hey Stacie,

Thank you for your quick reply. Attached you may find the log file :), I hope you can find the error.

Thanks for the log file Anne. There’s a lot of debug stuff in there, but i don’t see anything obviously wrong. Are there any other outputs missing? (like baseflow, the watershed gpkg, etc).

I was going to ask if you’d provide your datastack to run, but it takes 5.5 hours, so you’re probably modeling a large area and/or fine resolution. Would it be possible to test it on a smaller sub-watershed that runs much faster and see if the same thing happens?

Dear Stacie,

I have run the same area and input files with another resolution, this only takes a couple of minutes, but the same output is generated. I think the other outputs are all there, I am not missing something else. Should I provide you with the other files? Attached you can find the log file from the other run.

Best,

Anne

Interesting. Yes, please do provide me the rest of your data.Here is a post with instructions for creating a datastack in InVEST that gives me everything i need in a .tgz file. You’ll probably need to upload it somewhere and make sure that it’s viewable, then send me the link. Thanks!

Dear Stacie,

Thank you for your help. Here is a link containing the tgz file. I hope it works, if not please let me know. Link - LRZ Sync+Share

I hope you can find the problem, if you need anything else, just tell me :slight_smile:

All the best, Anne

Hi @as1252,
The local recharge raster is located at intermediate_outputs/l_aligned_[suffix].tif. I’ll update the user guide to indicate that it’s called l_aligned, not L.

Hey there,

Thank you very much for the clarification! Another question occured to me now: If i give the local recharge as an input layer, I will not get a GF-tiffle as an output, is that correct?

Best, Anne

If you provide the local recharge input layer, you will still get intermediate_outputs/l_aligned_[suffix].tif. It will be a copy of your input that has been aligned to match the other input layers.
