Global Soil Erodibility Database Query

  KUERY 1.5 

Win 64bit edition
 (2004,2018)

 

KUERY 1.5 is a Full Freeware Software available for the scientific community.
The aim of this software is
calculate the frequency distributions of the soil erodibility values (K) observed for given textural, organic matter and climate data. The user of the algorithm will finally have the possibility to decide, on the basis of local knowledge, which values to use.
( see reference below..)

The latest KUERY  package  can be downloaded in this page:


DOWNLOAD  KUERY full package (0.8 MB)  in a Zip file Kuery_package
1) Please download the .ZIP file, and decompress it in a directory without open spaces in the name. ( e.g. C:\KUERY )
2) Run KUERY.EXE
KUERY 1.5 requires Windows  7,8x,10 and 64bit processors
Here thre is a preliminary documentation  (1.0 MB)
