| | A Water Overlay is a [[Grid Overlay|grid overlay]] for which results are calculated by the [[Water Module]]. The [[Water_Module_Basics|Basic theory of the Water Module]] in the {{software}} is an implementation of a 2D grid based shallow water model based on the 2D Saint Venant equations. The module is further enhanced with infiltration, evaporation, groundwater flow and hydraulic structures. Depending on the use case, the simulated period can be set to few seconds and up to a few months. The [[Water_Module_Theory|theory]] section describes in detail how calculations are performed. |
| ==What is the Water overlay==
| | __NOTOC__ |
| The water [[Overlay|overlay]] is an implementation of a large number of hydrological formulas which together can simulate the flow of water across large areas with a high level of detail. Its calculations form a simulation of an arbitrary amount of time, during which water is allowed to move. | | To perform the calculations, the project area is divided into a [[Grid overlay|grid of cells]]. Each cell has a specific quantity of water and specific hydrological parameters based on the data in the project. The total time which should be simulated is divided into discrete [[Timestep formula (Water Overlay)|timesteps]]. Per timestep, each cell communicates with its adjacent cells to exchange water, based on its water level, surface height, current flow direction and other factors. Accuracy and reliability is obtained by dividing the project area and simulation time into sufficiently small cells and steps, at the cost of more computation time. |
|
| |
|
| Water flow is affected by properties of the surface across which it flows, including the [[terrain height]] and the properties of the underlying [[terrain]].
| | The final results of the calculation can be inspected, as well as intermediate snapshots of the hydrological situation during the simulation, known as [[Timeframes (Water Overlay)|timeframes]]. |

| To perform the calculations, the project area is divided into a [[Grid overlay|grid of cells]]. Each cell has a specific quantity of water, and specific hydrological parameters based on the data in the project. The total time which should be simulated is divided into discrete {{inlink|Timestep formula|timesteps}}. Per timestep, every cell communicates with all adjacent cells to exchange water. By dividing the project area and simulation time into sufficiently small cells and steps the behavior becomes effective continuous.
| | ==Variants== |
| | A Water Module will be initialized by adding one of the following Overlays to a project. Each variant has a number of parameters tuned to best fit specific use-cases. This means that each of these overlays is based on the same theory and calculation method, however they are customized to conveniently provide insight in different aspects of the Water Module. |

| | <!--==Input Data and Settings== |
| | The calculations performed by the Water Overlay are influenced by many kinds of geographical information present in the project area. For any given location, [[terrain]], [[construction]]s and other features can influence either the initial state of the simulation or how water flows in a given area. |
|
| |
|
| The final results of the calculation can be inspected, as well as snapshots of the hydrological situation in the simulation, known as {{inlink|lcase=1|Timeframes}}.
| | Furthermore, the Water Overlay features a number of overall settings which can be configured for the hydrological calculations and its results. These settings do not have a geographical or temporal element to them, and are fixed values relevant for the simulation as a whole. |
|
| |
|
| ===Variants===
| | ;[[Hydrologic_features_(Water_Overlay)|Hydrological features]] |
| The water overlay can be added to a project as one of a number of variants. Each variant has a number of parameters tuned to best fit certain use-cases. The following preconfigured variants exist:
| |
| * [[Rainfall_(Overlay)|Rainfall Overlay]], provides insight into the water stress caused by (excessive) rainfall.
| |
| * [[Flooding_(Overlay)|Flooding Overlay]], provides insight into water stress caused by breaches in levees or other sources causing excessive water inflow.
| |
| * [[Groundwater_(Overlay)|Groundwater Overlay]], provides insight into long-term processes of water flow both on the surface and underground.
| |
| | |
| ===Use cases===
| |
| The water overlay is complex and versatile, and can configured for a large number of different detailed use cases.
| |
| Due to the complexity of the water overlay, if an exact understanding of the functioning of the water overlay is not required or desired, it may be preferable to follow the instructions to complete one or more specific use cases, as found on the [[Use cases Water Overlay|water overlay's use cases page]].
| |

| | |
| ==How to use the Water overlay==
| |
| <onlyinclude>{{#if:{{{how to use|<noinclude>main</noinclude>}}}|<!--
| |
| | |
| -->In general, when a water overlay is added to a project it will immediately be capable of calculating results. However, these will be based on default settings and will at best give a broad sense of water stress.
| |
| | |
| To use any variant of the overlay properly, it is recommended that you ensure the project meets a number of {{inlink|lcase=1|Prerequisites}}. Next, it is recommended to prepare all {{inlink|Data|data related to the hydrological model}}, which defines the functioning and flow of the water. Included in this preparation is a clear idea of the {{inlink|{{#if:<noinclude>main</noinclude>|Model connections|Calculation properties}}|climate conditions}} and what kind of {{inlink|{{#if:<noinclude>main</noinclude>|Result type|Result types}}|output}} is desired. After these preparations have been made, {{inlink|{{#if:<noinclude>main</noinclude>|Configuration|Adding and configuring the overlay}}|creation and configuration}} of the overlay can begin. When the configuration is completed, a [[Grid overlay#Grid recalculation|recalculation]] of the overlay will yield more accurate and appropriate results.
| |
| | |
| After the overlay has calculated results, a number of means exist to {{inlink|{{#if:<noinclude>main</noinclude>|Results|Data analysis}}|analyse the results}} of the calculation performed.<!--
| |
| | |
| -->|}}</onlyinclude>
| |
| | |
| ===Prerequisites===
| |
| <onlyinclude>{{#if:{{{prerequisites|<noinclude>main</noinclude>}}}|<!--
| |
| | |
| -->When creating your [[project]], make sure it meets the following criteria:
| |
| * Your project has been loaded in with a high-resolution DEM. This can be configured during the [[Terrain_height#Terrain_height_in_the_Tygron_Platform|new project wizard]].
| |
| * Your project is large enough to account for {{#if:<noinclude>main</noinclude>|{{inlink|Model border|edge effects}}|[[Water_Overlays#Model border|edge effects]]}}.<!--

| |
| | |
| ===Additional tips for preparation and use===
| |
| <onlyinclude>{{#if:{{{tips|<noinclude>main</noinclude>}}}|<!--
| |
| | |
| -->There are a number of additional points of attention when creating a project with the intent of using this overlay:
| |
| * When creating a new project in the [[Wizard|new project wizard]], consider using the [[GEO_Data#AHN3|AHN3]] dataset rather than the default AHN2. Where coverage is available, the AHN3 dataset will be more accurate. Where coverage is not available, the default AHN2 should be used.
| |
| * Additionally, when creating a new project, consider whether you want to use the [[GEO_Data#IMWA|IMWA]] dataset for {{#if:<noinclude>main</noinclude>|{{inlink|lcase=1|Hydrological constructions}}|[[Water_Overlays#Hydrological constructions|hydrological constructions]]}}. Although this dataset is not complete, some information about constructions which serve as {{#if:<noinclude>main</noinclude>|{{inlink|lcase=1|Culvert}}|[[Water Overlay#Culvert|culvert]]}}s other relevant objects can be loaded in from this datasource. If more complete or accurate data is available to be loaded in into the project after it is created, it may be desirable to disregard this source so that hydrological constructions are not doubly included.
| |
| * Water flow can often be dictated by small features in an area, such as small openings between buildings, and thin [[levee]]s. To have these small features included properly in the calculations, the {{#if:<noinclude>main</noinclude>|{{inlink|Grid cell size configuration|grid cell size}}|[[Water Overlay#Grid cell size configuration|grid cell size]]}} will need to be set to an appropriate size. The default setting offered by the {{software}} will often need to be adjusted to allow for smaller features to be recognized without having their presence averaged out with their surroundings.
| |
| * The water overlay performs a complete simulation, which is a series of complex calculations across multiple layers. Depending on the configuration of the overlay, the {{#if:<noinclude>main</noinclude>|{{inlink|Calculation time impacts|calculation time}}|[[Water Overlay#Calculation time impacts|calculation time]]}} can range from seconds to hours. If the overlay is to be used in a setting where response times need to be short, it may be preferable to configure the overlay for greater speed rather than excessive precision.<!--

| |
| | |
| ===Keys===
| |
| The water model makes use of data present in geographical features in the [[3D world]]. This data is used as input for the various calculations which together model the water flow. The water model recognizes what attributes of geographical features form the parameters required for the calculation through key definitions. Each key is the name of an attribute which the water model should use to determine a specific parameter.
| |
| | |
| Keys are set to default attribute names, which apply to {{inlink|lcase=1|Hydrological features}}, {{inlink|lcase=1|Hydrological constructions}}, and {{inlink|lcase=1|Hydrological properties of terrain}}. Keys can be changed so that imported data can be interpreted without renaming attributes, or to allow different configurations to come forth from the same dataset.
