The groundwater overlay is an implementation of the Water model optimized for calculating the flow of underground watertables. This implementation focuses on water flowing at a low speed, and on the functioning of the water system without calamitous events such as breaches.
Use cases
The groundwater overlay can be used and is recommended when exploring the following use-cases:
- Modeling a static, slow-flowing water system
- Modeling the long-term effects of excessive rain or excessive drought on the water table
- Modeling the spread of chemicals through the underground, carried along by water
Important components
It is important to model a fully functional static water system for any relevant use of the groundwater overlay. After setting up the static water model, additional effects can be modeled to account for special circumstances.
