Thank you Hans. I obtained a 'Couldn't load plugin SRTM Downloader' due to an error when calling it's classFactory() method' error message when installing in QGIS 3.34.4. Kindly assist.

Thanks Dr. May I know the link of soil map and land use look up table preparation for QSWAT using QGIS. In web I saw materials using ArcGIS. Thanks again for the valuable materials.

Unfortunately, I have no experience with QSWAT.

hello, do you now when the DEM being generated from the plugin was produced?

SRTM is the Space Shuttle Topography Mission, which collected data for the DEM in February 2000.
