The aquifer is an additional definition for the ground, allowing for ground horizontal flow different from the ground terrain's GROUND_INFILTRATION_MD.

Icon Key Unit Range Description Default value
Waterwizard icon aquifer kd.png AQUIFER_KD m²/day The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer, which dictates the speed at which water can flow horizontally through the underground. n/a
Waterwizard icon aquifer height.png AQUIFER_DATUM m + datum The datum height at which the aquifer layer is situated. n/a

Notes

  • The aquifer only functions if its hydraulic conductivity is greater than 0. If it is 0 or less the aquifer is disregarded, and the GROUND_INFILTRATION_MD of the ground terrain is used.
  • The aquifer functionality is also used to model drainages.
