Groundwater levels in the Water model can be initialized using a GeoTiff.

Groundwater is only used when the GROUND WATER attribute of the Water Overlay is set to complete, meaning the underground model is vertically and horizontally fully active.

Values in the groundwater GeoTIFF can represent either:

  • the datum height of the ground water level.
  • the water depth, as the initial distance between the surface and the watertable. A greater value in the GeoTiff will result in a lower watertable.

When a groundwater GeoTiff is not configured for the Water Overlay, the watertable is initialized using the WATER_LEVEL attribute of the water level area instead. For locations without water level areas, the water table is set to one meter below the surface.

Default data

For the Netherlands, a number of groundwater GeoTiffs are provided by default, based on data provided by The Netherlands Hydrological Instrumentarium:

  • NL_GHG_kk-nhi (Average highest watertable)
  • NL_GLG_kk-nhi (Average lowest watertable)
  • NL_GVG_kk-nhi (Average spring watertable)
Groundwater GeoTIFF specification
Description The depth of the ground water level, relative to the surface.
Value Groundwater level (m below terrain height)
Groundwater GeoTIFF specification
Description The datum height of the ground water level.
Value Groundwater level (m + datum)
