SWATioTools
Overview
IMPORTANT! The tool is not supported any longer due to incompatibility with ArcGIS 10.x and availability of the SSURGO utility embedded in ArcSWAT 2012.
SWATioTools is a set of utilities to assist with pre- and post-processing of data in Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT).
Core components of the set include SSURGO soil processing utility, conversion of NexRad precipitation data,
and calibration tools, among others. SWATioTools is written in Visual Basic with ArcObjects
and presented in a user friendly graphical interface as an extension to ArcGIS. Most of the components
are currently under development and will be available for test and download very soon.
The SSURGO Soil Processing tool is the very first component developed within the SWATioTools extension, and it is currently available for download. Having said that, the tool is still in beta stage and may contain bugs in the code. Download and use the tool at your own risk.
What does the SSURGO component do?
The SSURGO component performs the following actions:
- It reads the SSURGO tabular and spatial files downloaded from SoilDataMart for multiple counties
- Prepares user soils dBase data file and appends it to the 'usersoil' table
- Creates a soil lookup table
- Exports spatial files into a single shapefile and/or a raster dataset
