The SWAT application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Grassland, Soil & Water Research Laboratory.
How to open WWQ file?
The main problem with SWAT Watershed Water Quality Input is that the WWQ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that WWQ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WWQ file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install SWAT
The first step is to check if the computer has the SWAT program installed. To do this, enter the name SWAT into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file WWQ.
Programs to open WWQ file
Remember to download programs supporting WWQ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SWAT with WWQ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WWQ file to open in the SWAT application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SWAT application as the default for handling the WWQ file.
Step 3. Update SWAT to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SWAT program with the SWAT Watershed Water Quality Input file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Grassland, Soil & Water Research Laboratory website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WWQ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The WWQ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the WWQ file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WWQ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected WWQ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of WWQ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WWQ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Grassland, Soil & Water Research Laboratory, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WWQ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the WWQ file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the WWQ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WWQ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
