	Due to continuous rainfall and two stable water levels left and right, a specific ground water table curve will form. ~~Part of the rainwater will flow~~ left and ~~part of the it will flow~~ right.		Due to continuous rainfall and two stable water levels left and right, a specific ground water table curve will form. Rainwater flows both left and right.

	In the situation described there, the chosen Length L is set to 500 m. This is achieved with a grid size of 28 by 5, with a cell size of 20 m. ~~There are two~~ stable ~~ground water~~ levels~~, one on left of 11 meters~~ (datum) and ~~one~~ on the right ~~at 10 meters (datum)~~. The rainfall is 0.8 mm per day, the horizontal infiltration speed is 3 m per day.		In the situation described there, the chosen Length L is set to 500 m. This is achieved with a grid size of 28 by 5, with a cell size of 20 m. Two stable groundwater levels are used: 11m (datum) on the left and 10m on the right. The rainfall is 0.8 mm per day, the horizontal infiltration speed is 3 m per day.

	For x = 1 the initial ground water level is set to 11 and for x = 26 the ground water level is set to 10. ~~The initial ground water~~ levels between ~~this~~ points is linearly interpolated.		For x = 1 the initial ground water level is set to 11 and for x = 26 the ground water level is set to 10. Initial groundwater levels between these points are linearly interpolated.

	Additionally, two [[Inlet (Water Overlay)\|underground inlets]] are placed, one on x=1 and one on x=26, as an area over y = 1 to 3.		Additionally, two [[Inlet (Water Overlay)\|underground inlets]] are placed, one on x=1 and one on x=26, as an area over y = 1 to 3.

	The simulation time is set to n days, with a rainfall of 0.8 mm per day. ~~To configure this,~~ the [[Weather rain m (Water Overlay)\|rain]] ~~set is set to~~ <math>[3600 \cdot 24 \cdot n, \frac{0.8}{1000 \cdot 3600 \cdot 24}]</math>.		The simulation time is set to n days, with a rainfall of 0.8 mm per day.
