There are a few modes available for the [[Water Module]], dictating how to handle groundwater:
* '''None'''. No [[infiltration model (Water Overlay)|infiltration]], no groundwater flow, no [[evaporation model (Water Overlay)|underground evaporation]].
* '''Complete''' Full groundwater simulation, including [[infiltration model (Water Overlay)|infiltration]], flow, and [[evaporation model (Water Overlay)|evaporation]]
* '''Infiltration only''' Water can [[infiltration model (Water Overlay)|Infiltrate]] into the unsaturated zone only, but no further underground flow or [[evaporation model (Water Overlay)|underground evaporation]] is simulated. The unsaturated zone is simulated to have infinite capacity.

Attribute Unit Description
GROUND_WATER nominal value Whether and how water in the underground is simulated during the calculation.

There are a few modes available for the Water Module, dictating how to handle groundwater:

Possible values

Notes

  • Groundwater Overlays have the underground model active by default. The other Water Overlay variants have the underground model set to infiltration only. This is a recommended setting, trading in an imperceptable amount of accuracy for a more performant calculation setup.
  • This setting does not affect water flowing in- and out of the sewer.
