How to configure the Water Overlays

Please note: This page is currently being updated.

This page describes several use cases and examples of configurations in different water overlays based on the water module.

Basics

• Create a basic water system
• Add groundwater to your basic water system

Enhancements

• Import waterdepth data
• Add subsidence calculation results to your water system's input

Excessive water

Flooding

These use-cases can be implemented best using the Flooding Overlay.

• Visualize levee breach from water body inside project area (river, small lake)
• Visualize levee breach with water from outside the project area (large lake, sea)
• Visualize multiple sequential breaches

• Create a flood wave across a river

Rain

These use-cases can be implemented best using the Rainfall Overlay.

• Rain falling in the project area

Testbed projects

• Testbed water module

Water shortage

These use-cases can be implemented best using the Groundwater Overlay.

• Drought from excessive drains in the project area
• Drought from excessive evaporation in the project area

Stationary analyses

• Track flow in a hydrological system over time
• Manually calculate at what level the water level is stable
