WATER_EVAPORATION_FACTOR | factor | Surface | How fast this terrain can evaporate water from the underground. The weather's evaporation speed is multiplied by this factor to determine the rate of evaporation. |
Terrains can be configured with plant-related attributes, similar to constructions configured as crops and foliage, allowing it to draw water from the underground and evaporate it.
Notes
- For plants to evaporate water, both the ROOT_DEPTH_M and the WATER_EVAPORATION_FACTOR must be appropriately configured.
- When a construction is present in any given location, the values for evaporation in the underground will overrule any values set by terrain in the same location. To model underground evaporation without a construction, set the attributes of the construction on the applicable terrain type instead.
- The groundwater level reduction is inversely proportional to the WATER_STORAGE_PERCENTAGE, as the contribution of a given volume of water to the groundwater level increases when the capacity for water storage in the underground layer decreases.
- When there is no construction present on the surface, and the terrain has a WATER_EVAPORATION_FACTOR of 0, the amount of evaporation which takes place in that location is 0.
