Simulation data (Water Overlay)

The Water Module's simulation can be linked to other models, which add and define more data to be used in the simulation. Some models are automatically connected, and are required for the calculations to take place. Others are optional, and can apply additional detail to the calculations. When the optional models are absent, default behavior is defined.
