How to set linear evaporation rate (Water Overlay)

For a Water Overlay, evaporation rate is defined in Weather data.

Editor → Current Situation (Ribbon tab) → Overlays (Ribbon bar) → The Water Overlay (Left panel) → Configuration Wizard (Right panel)

How to set linear evaporation rate:

1. Open the configuration wizard of the Water Overlay.
2. Continue to the step concerning weathers.
3. Select the weather event you wish to update, or select "Add" to create a new one.
4. Set the "Surface evaporation" setting to "Linear".
5. In the "Surface evaporation" field, set the desired evaporation rate.
6. Close the wizard.

Notes

• The evaporation rate is in mm/day, so for any given evaporation rate configured, the total amount of evaporation will be less as simulation time decreases.
