#### What is the issue or question you have?

I wonder why I get tiff maps with no values after running the SDR model. Previus works i got corect maps, but this time the tiff file just gets the zero value.

#### What do you expect to happen?

Getting the USLE map with values above zero

#### What have you tried so far?

Try with multiple watershed maps, filling the DEM, fixing geometries.

Hi @Aloski , thanks for posting your issue. As you say, the model seems to have completed without any obvious problems so we will probably need to get your input data in order to reproduce the problem.

Please also read over this thread to see if any of the solutions there may apply in your case:

> Hello everybody, I have managed to run an SDR model successfully but all of the results show up as 0. I have looked through all the datasets and I don’t see where this error would be coming from. I checked for past topics on with the same issue, but wasn’t able to find anything. I can only think that there is a problem with some of the attributes of the datasets. Any suggestions would be great! I have attached my input and results files, and the log. In case replication makes finding a solutio…

If not, please [share your input data](https://community.naturalcapitalalliance.org/t/an-easy-way-to-share-data-using-the-invest-workbench/3879) with us. Thanks,
