How to correct your Water Overlay data

This article is a stub.

When working with the Water Overlay, it is desirable to work directly with the source data available. However, there may be aspects of the data which conflict with the way the Water Overlay functions. These situations may require some corrections to have the data properly interpreted by the calculation model.

Depending on the situation, clear instructions to correct the issue may exist. However, due to the inherent complexity which may be involved with various combinations of data, for some situations only advice on how to investigate a potentially erroneous phenomenon can be offered.
