Breach measurement distance m (Water Overlay)

Icon	Key	Unit	Range	Description	Default value
	BREACH_MEASUREMENT_DISTANCE_M	m		Distance from the breach area to the automatically placed measurement point for the downstream water level of the breach, in the direction of the breach.	100

Notes

• In order to place the measurement the breach area must also have a BREACH_ANGLE. Together they determine the location at which the point of measurement is placed.
• The downstream water level of the breach is used in the Verheij–van der Knaap growth formula.
• Only when the area behind the breach is lower then the breach level itself the measurement point can be placed. This prevents invalid measurement points, for example when it is placed on top of a building.
