Hey there 🙂 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. ~ Stacie ---

Hey Stacie, Thank you for your quick reply. Attached you may find the log file :), I hope you can find the error. [InVEST-seasonal\_water\_yield-log-2026-01-27–10\_37\_07.txt](https://community.naturalcapitalalliance.org/uploads/short-url/nmStMpAbYelJ0Qr1zIg5ZPfJZAa.txt) (326.7 KB) ---

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? ~ Stacie ---

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.

Interesting. Yes, please do provide me the rest of your data.[Here is a post](https://community.naturalcapitalalliance.org/t/an-easy-way-to-share-data-using-the-invest-workbench/3879) 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! ~ Stacie ---

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](https://syncandshare.lrz.de/getlink/fi3JPyume8ovrDfGkcSFhJ/invest_seasonal_water_yield_datastack.tgz) I hope you can find the problem, if you need anything else, just tell me 🙂 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. ---
