Depending on whether the option is selected, the hydrological system can be visualized when when the overlay is activated. Each water level area will be visualized by a striped border along the surface of the terrain. If a sewer exists, and the sewer has a sewer overflow, the overflow is visualized with a black spehere, and an orange line connecting it to the center of the sewer. Culverts, weirs, and pumps are visualized by green, orange, and red spheres respectively for their endpoints, connected by blue lines. Inlets are visualized with an orange sphere.

When a Water Overlay is active, the water system and hydraulic constructions are schematically visualized to provide more insight. If water has flowed through any of the hydraulic constructions, animated arrows in the connecting lines will indicate that movement. Also, when zoomed in on the constructions, the Water level at either side of the construction is visible. Below an overview of the different components in the water system.

Water Objects

Type Image Description
Water area Water area Each Water area is visualized by a dashed border along the surface of the Terrain.
Breach Breach A Breach area is visualized by a purple sphere.
Weir Weir Schematic visualization of a Weir. The water levels at either side and also the direction of the flow is visible.
Culvert Culvert Schematic visualization of a Culvert. The water levels at either side and also the direction of the flow is visible.
Pump Pump Schematic visualization of a Pump. The water levels at either side and also the direction of the flow is visible.
In- or Outlet Inlet Schematic visualization of an Inlet or Outlet.
Sewer overflow Sewer overflow The Sewer overflow is visualized with a black sphere.
Sewer area Sewer area The Sewer area is visualized with an orange line which connects the center of the area with the Sewer overflow.

Water Areas

The following section is about the water system visualization. The initial setup is 0.4 m on the right and 0.3 m on the left.

The number indicates the output datum height a or b of the water level
Water area not connected or initially no water flowing out of it Water level area not connected no outflow.PNG Water level area connected outflow overview.PNG Water area connected to another area, but water is flowing out. The number indicates the output datum height a or b of the water level

Visualization options

In step 4 Interaction of the Water Overlay Wizard different options for visualizing the water system can be selected. Notice that multiple options at once can be selected.

Display Water Objects

This mode is by default selected and will schematically visualize the water system and hydraulic constructions as seen above.

Display Water Area System

This option adds a schematic visualization of water level areas, connected by hydraulic structures which is visible when zooming out. The directional flow between areas and the water level of areas will be visualized using color schemes, labels and shapes.

Display Weirs with Panels

Weir panel

When present, Weirs will be visualized with a Panel Popup. It is possible to click on this popup to open the Panel and change the Weir height. Note that a Test Run will start when changing this height. The panels are Template Excel panels which can be downloaded and adjusted as desired.

Display Water Areas with Panels

Water area panel

When present, Water areas will be highlighted with a Panel Popup. When clicking on this popup, the Panel opens and it is possible to change dynamically the Water level. Note that a Test Run will start when changing the Water level. The panels are Template Excel panels which can be downloaded and adjusted as desired.
