Urban Flood Risk Mitigation - Soil Group Raster preparation error?

Milkiman · June 15, 2020, 9:55am

Hello!

First of all, I know that a similar topic already has been posted (Urban Flood Mitigation Error - ValueError: invalid entry in choice array) whereas a result, I think you did include the error message that I see now.

After initially running my model, the tool aborted after a few seconds with the error message of 'Value Error encountered: Invalid entry in choice array. Check that the Soil Group Raster does not contain values other than (1,2,3,4).

The problem is, that my soil group raster DOES NOT contain any other values than 1-4.

Screencap where you can see the attribute table of the soil raster:

Any idea what the problem could be? Maybe the error lies somewhere else?
I further tried creating a new, artificial soil raster file containing just 1 single soil type for the whole area of interest (only containing value 3, just like the example data), but ended up getting the same error nonetheless, so I suspect the problem might be a different one?

Hi @Milkiman

Thanks for posting and sorry you’re having trouble here. Would you be willing to share the LULC and Soil Group Raster inputs you are using? If you prefer not to upload here you can use a link to a shared drive or email me at ddenu@stanford.edu.

Doug

Milkiman · June 16, 2020, 1:00pm

Hey, thanks for your help!

Yeah no worries, I will upload it here.

Soilgroups_1_3_4.tif (1.0 MB)

dcdenu4 · June 16, 2020, 2:57pm

Thanks @Milkiman,

I don’t see anything that would cause concern, could you provide the rest of your inputs for the model run? This could be a bug and running the model with your inputs would really help find it.

Thanks!

Milkiman · June 16, 2020, 4:17pm

Oh weird!

Yes, so the watershed vector is just a placeholder shape file, as I yet have to finalize the actual watershed, but the final file should be somewhat similar in its extent/form…

The CSV file is already final and DOES work with the provided example data (as I CAN successfully run the example model with my own csv file), so I do not expect the error to be in there.

Watershed_ex.zip (2.0 KB)

Biophysical Table.csv (1.2 KB)

If you can successfully run the model with all of my data, the problem might be on my PC (although I did try with InVEST version 3.8.2 and 3.8.4, with a fresh install already, but same error always)

Thanks!

dcdenu4 · June 24, 2020, 1:46pm

Hi @Milkiman

Sorry for the delay here. It looks like there is a bug that we’ll need to fix. In the meantime can you try setting the nodata value on your Soilgroups_1_3_4 raster to something other than 0? Maybe 7?

Please try that with InVEST 3.8.4 and let me know if it works.

Doug

hcambridge · June 24, 2020, 2:42pm

Thanks for your help. I reclassified the soils group layer Class 0–>7 and managed to get it to work.
Howard

Milkiman · June 25, 2020, 12:42pm

Thank you so far, good to know!

As of now, if I reclassify the nodata values to 7 using f.ex. the reclassify tool in ArcMap or using the raster calculator, I still get the same error as usual. Only if I assign nodata to either 1,2,3 or 4, I manage to get the model to run successfully.

For now I can work with that, but if anybody has any other input, feel free to comment. Maybe I need to reclassify the data in another manner, considering @hcambridge got it to run with the value 7? What spatial analysis software are you using?

hcambridge · June 25, 2020, 12:57pm

I used QGIS to reclassify @Milkiman .
Howard

dcdenu4 · June 26, 2020, 3:00pm

@Milkiman,

I’m happy to take a look at your reclassified soil data raster that’s still not working for you, to make sure there’s not something I overlooked.

Doug

Milkiman · June 29, 2020, 5:43pm

@dcdenu4

I finally got it to work now by reclassifying all NoData values of [Soilgroups_1_3_4] first to some number (e.g. 7), and then reclassifying all 7 values back to NoData (All with the reclassifying tool of ArcMap). I am not sure on why it works now, but I will upload the file so you may be able to find the reason for further troubleshooting…

dcdenu4 · August 11, 2021, 1:38pm

Hi @DGowtham ,

It looks like your soil group raster has values outside of the allowed range. The soil group raster must have values of 1, 2, 3, 4 only. The rest should be nodata. Per the users guide:

Soils Hydrological Group Raster (required). Raster of categorical hydrological groups. Pixel values must be limited to 1, 2, 3, or 4, which correspond to soil hydrologic group A, B, C, or D, respectively (used to derive the CN number)

https://storage.googleapis.com/releases.naturalcapitalproject.org/invest-userguide/latest/urban_flood_mitigation.html#data-needs

Under the Appendix of the User Guide section there will be quite a bit of useful information regarding the soil group raster:
https://storage.googleapis.com/releases.naturalcapitalproject.org/invest-userguide/latest/urban_flood_mitigation.html#appendix-data-sources-and-guidance-for-parameter-selection

Hopefully this is helpful,

Doug

DGowtham · August 12, 2021, 1:48pm

Hi sir,
Thanks for your quick reply. I downloaded and cliped the soil raster from HYSOGs250m this layer only. Here the pixel value of soil raster is coming between 3 to 14 as u see from my attachement. I dont know how to change that value and run the model. Please help me out.

Regards,
Gowtham.

dcdenu4 · August 12, 2021, 3:11pm

Hi @DGowtham ,

I was able to find this resource for the HYSOGs250m raster:
https://daac.ornl.gov/SOILS/guides/Global_Hydrologic_Soil_Group.html

In this document they have a table for what the values relate to:

From this, I think that our guidance from the UG can be used.

There’s also this post from @swolny about converting soil groups for the Seasonal Water Yield model: Urban Flood Risk Mitigation model - converting dual soil-groups (e.g., A/D) to 1-4

Cheers,

Doug
