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 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
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 | ||
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.
