| The Subsidence Overlay is an [[Grid overlay|overlay]] that shows which places in the [[3D world]] are subject to subsidence due to oxidation and/or compaction of peat. The [[subsidence calulation|calculations]] can give result about the subsidence, and the effects it has on ground water levels. To add a subsidence overlay go to Geo Data -> Overlays -> Add Subsidence. | |
|
| |
|
| The Subsidence Overlay can be used to calculate the amount of subsidence which takes place on peat soil, specifically due to peat oxidation and compaction. The calculations are specific for peat soil. Separate formulas for other soil types have not yet been implemented. Although it's possible to use the overlay to give an impression of subsidence resulting from other factors, the results will be less accurate. This means that results have a greater margin of error for different use-cases. | | The Subsidence Overlay can be used to calculate the amount of subsidence which takes place on peat soil, specifically due to peat oxidation and compaction.

| | A project can be enriched with other overlays that are interesting in combination with the Subsidence Overlay. Examples are: |
| | |
| ==How the overlay calculates==
| |
| Subsidence is currently composed of 2 forms of reduction of peat: oxidation and compaction. These forms of subsidence are both relevant for the complete picture of subsidence, but are, in principle, calculated via separate formulas. The results of these formulas are added together to get the total amount of subsidence.
| |
| | |
| ===Oxidation===
| |
| Peat, when exposed to oxygen, can oxidize. In this process the peat combines with the air to form CO2, reducing the total mass and volume of the peat. The amount of oxidation depends on the clay thickness, because clay may insulate the peat, preventing it from oxidizing. It also depends on the (lowest) ground water level in relation to the surface of the land.
| |
| | |
| For information on the exact calculation of subsidence due to oxidation, see the article on [[Subsidence calculation#Oxidation Calculation|Subsidence calculation (section on Oxidation)]].
| |
| | |
| ====Ground water levels====
| |
| Ground water levels strongly affect how much peat can oxidize. Ground water levels, in turn, are affected by surface water levels, which can be changed during a session. Based on changes in surface water level, the ground water level changes as well.
| |
| | |
| For information on the exact calculation of ground water level changes, see the article on [[Subsidence calculation#Ground Water change calculation|Subsidence Calculation (section on Ground Water )]].
| |
| | |
| ===Compaction===
| |
| Peat is a porous and relatively soft terrain type, meaning it can be compressed. Based on the amount of peat in the ground, the density of the top layer, and the net height increase.
| |
| | |
| For information on the exact calculation of subsidence due to compaction, see the article on [[Subsidence calculation#Compaction calculation|Subsidence calculation (section on Compaction)]].
| |
| | |
| ===Multi-year calculations===
| |
| | |
| Subsidence is calculated in 1-year steps. For each year, the amount of subsidence is calculated. That amount is then used to recalculate the input parameters for the overlay. The next 1-year step is then calculated.
| |
| | |
| ===Loss of earnings of crops===
| |
| The loss of earnings of crops can now be added as result types. The loss of earnings is divided into 4 categories; indirect damage, damage due to wetness, damage due to drought and damage due to irrigation with salinated water. The computations are done by the [https://waterwijzerlandbouw.wur.nl/ ''Waterwijzer Landbouw module''] , with which the {{software}} communicates through its API. The calculated increase or decrease of the highest and lowest ground water levels due to subsidence are taken into account before communicating the water levels to the ''Waterwijzer Landbouw module''.
| |
| | |
| In short, the loss of earnings is based on:
| |
| * Type of crop indicated by the CROP_CODE attribute of a building. By default, dutch agricultural plots have this attribute defined. This CROP_CODE is converted by the {{software}} to an id accepted by the ''Waterwijzer Landbouw'' API. The official conversion table can be found [https://waterwijzerlandbouw.wur.nl/downloads/VertalingGewassen-1.1.0.pdf here].
| |
| * Type of underground soil, indicated by the BOFEK_ID attribute of a terrain type. By default, dutch underground terrain types have this attribute defined.
| |
| * Weather station; The selectable dutch weather stations are: De Bilt, De Kooy, Eelde, Vlissingen and Maastricht.
| |
| * Climate scenario; Only one of two can be selected: Current situation (1981-2010) and WH 2050 (2036-2065)
| |
| * The adjusted highest and lowest ground water level: These are provided by the Subsidence calculations described in the sections above.
| |
| * Irrigation and salinity: these are currently set to 0 and not adjustable in the {{software}}.

| ==Result types==
| |
| The overlay offers the following result types:

| |
| ! Description
| |
| |-
| |
| | [[Subsidence_result_type_(Subsidence_Overlay)|SUBSIDENCE]]
| |
| | m change in land height
| |
| | The amount that the ground has lowered as a result of subsidence, both oxidation and compaction. A positive number means the ground has lowered.
| |
| |-
| |
| | OXIDATION
| |
| | m change in land height

| | The amount that the ground has lowered as a result of compaction.
| |
| |-
| |
| | HI_GROUND_WATER
| |
| | m distance from surface to ground water
| |
| | The distance between the ground surface and the highest ground water level. This number is lower than that of the lowest ground water level. A positive value means the ground water is below the surface of the land. A negative value would theoretically mean the ground water has risen above the surface of the ground.
| |
| |-
| |
| | LOW_GROUND_WATER
| |
| | m distance from surface to ground water
| |
| | The distance between the ground surface and the lowest ground water level. This number is higher than that of the highest ground water level. A positive value means the ground water is below the surface of the land. A negative value would theoretically mean the ground water has risen above the surface of the ground.
| |
| |-
| |
| | DAMAGE_DRY
| |
| | % loss of earnings
| |
| | The loss of agricultural earnings for drought scenarios, for a particular crop, using the highest and lowest ground water levels adjusted by subsidence. These earnings are calculated by the Waterwijzer Landbouw api. When the water levels in the ground are too low, roots are unable to absorb enough moisture.
| |
| |-
| |
| | DAMAGE_WET
| |
| | % loss of earnings
| |
| | The loss of agricultural earnings due to high ground water levels, for a particular crop, using the highest and lowest ground water levels adjusted by subsidence. These earnings are calculated by the Waterwijzer Landbouw api. When the water levels in the ground are too high, subsurface air is replaced by water and plant roots cannot obtain enough oxygen.
| |
| |-
| |
| | DAMAGE_INDIRECT
| |
| | % loss of earnings
| |
| | The loss of agricultural earnings due to indirect causes, for a particular crop, using the highest and lowest ground water levels adjusted by subsidence. These earnings are calculated by the Waterwijzer Landbouw api. Indirect causes relate to the type of soil, type of crop and water levels.
| |
| | |
| Taken into account are:
| |
| * soil temperatures in comparison with crop growth calendar;
| |
| * plowing difficulty for a soil and season;
| |
| * sowing problems for the given water levels, crop and soil;
| |
| * germination problems due to sub-optimal water concentrations in the soil;
| |
| * harvest issues due to not fully grown crops;
| |
| * sub-optimal conditions for grassland growth;
| |
| |-
| |
| | DAMAGE_SALT
| |
| | % loss of earnings
| |
| | The loss of agricultural earnings due to salt water irrigation or salt water seepage, for a particular crop, using the highest and lowest ground water levels adjusted by subsidence. These earnings are calculated by the Waterwijzer Landbouw api. Too much salt concentration leads to a reduction of water absorption of plant roots, increased toxicity, problems with nutrients absorption and decreased root growth.
| |
| |-
| |
| | DAMAGE_TOTAL
| |
| | % loss of earnings
| |
| | The total loss of agricultural earnings for a particular crop, using the highest and lowest ground water levels adjusted by subsidence. These earnings are calculated by the Waterwijzer Landbouw api.

| ===Legend===
| |
| The legend of the subsidence overlays is automatically calculated, based on the amount of years being calculated by the overlay. The colors will remain constant based on average subsidence per year. I.e. if the amount of years is doubled, the values in the legend, corresponding to specific colors, are doubled as well. Because the legend displays total amounts of subsidence rather than averages, the displayed range of amounts changes when the amount of calculation years changes.
| |
| | |
| The legend of the ground water overlays is constant, and will display a color from blue through yellow to red to indicate how wet the soil is. The closer the ground water is to the surface of the land, the bluer the overlay. In contrast to the subsidence legends, the range of values for ground water do not change.

| ==Output==
| |
| The output of all result types of the overlay is in meters. The results can be [[Grid overlay#Export as GeoTiff|exported as GeoTiff]].
| |
| | |
| ===Subsidence output===
| |
| The output of the [[grid overlay|grid]] of each subsidence result type is the subsidence in meters. Depending on the exact result type used, the output is the amount of subsidence as the result of one specific calculation, or the sum of all the calculations of subsidence.
| |
| | |
| The [[hover panel]] will display the following information:
| |
| * The amount of subsidence taking place over the configured amount of years.
| |
| * The current surface water level, and to what level it will have changed after the subsidence has taken place.
| |
| * The [[subsidence calculation#Indexation|indexation]] policy currently configured for this water level area.
| |
| | |
| ===Ground water level output===
| |
| The output of the [[grid overlay|grid]] of each ground water result type is the final distance from the ground water level to the surface of the land in meters.
| |
| | |
| The [[hover panel]] will display the following information:
| |
| * The level to which the ground water will have changed, after the subsidence has taken place.
| |
| | |
| ===Final water level===
| |
| The overlay can also write the final surface water level to an [[attribute]] of an [[area]]. The area where the attribute will be written to is the area which has provided the original water level for the overlay.
| |
| <!--
| |
| ==Affecting the overlay==
| |
| During a [[session]], [[stakeholder]]s can affect the data in the project. They can do this through, for example, [[action]]s or [[event]]s. This can include affecting data which is used in the subsidence calculation. The subsidence overlay is then recalculated with that new data.
| |
| | |
| ===Oxidation===
| |
| Oxidation is affected by changes in the (ground) water level. During a session, if the WATER_LEVEL attribute is changed, the ground water level is adjusted as well. This in turn leads to more or less subsidence through oxidation. The ground water level can also be affected by the user creating drainage. These are [[construction]]s with a "drainage" [[function value]]. Drainage sets the ground water level to an artificial height, affecting the amount of oxidation taking place.
| |
| | |
| ===Compaction===
| |
| During a session, a stakeholder can raise or lower land. They can do this directly, via [[List_of_actions#Sculpting|land sculpting actions]], or by constructing [[levee]]s. As the land is raised above the starting height, more compaction will start taking place.
| |
| | |
| ==Configuring the overlay==
| |
| When the subsidence overlay is added to a project, there is some minimum information required for a calculation. You can choose to use the wizard to guide you through the configuration, or to set a few parameters manually for an initial calculation.
| |
| | |
| ===Using the wizard===
| |
| The wizard will be able to guide you through the configuration of the overlay. It will pass through a number of steps in which individual aspects of the subsidence overlay are set up. The wizard can be opened by clicking on the configuration wizard button in the general tab of the subsidence overlay.
| |
| | |
| [[File:Subsidence_overlay_wizard.PNG|750px]]
| |
| | |
| ====Areas====
| |
| In 3 steps, some geographical information will be configured, related to surface- and ground water. Options presented allow for importing data, or generating some parameters based on general assumptions.
| |
| | |
| ====Constructions====
| |
| Drainages can be imported or generated based on existing data.
| |
| | |
| ====Hydrological Coefficients====
| |
| In 4 steps, a number of general parameters for the various calculations have to be set. These are non-geographical parameters which allow for the configuration of the intensity and speed of subsidence, and the external environmental factors which influence the sensitivity of the soil to subsidence.
| |
| | |
| ====Overlays====
| |
| Besides the primary result type for the overlay, a number of additional result types can be displayed which are added as child overlays to the parent overlay,
| |
| | |
| ====Input Visualization====
| |
| For debugging and analysis purposes, the wizard will offer to add a number of additional overlays as child overlays of this overlay to the project. These are [[average overlay]]s, which display the values of specific geographical input attributes as an overlay in the [[3D world]]. This provides insight into the exact values used to perform the subsidence calculations.
| |
| | |
| ===Manually===
| |
| When the subsidence overlay is added to a project, there is some minimum information required for a calculation.
| |
| | |
| ====Peat soil====
| |
| The calculation will only work when the [[terrain]] is sensitive to subsidence. By default, [[peat]] is the only terrain sensitive to subsidence. If your project does not yet have a peat soil, you can either set a different soil type to be sensitive to subsidence, or add peat to your project.
| |
| | |
| ''Note that ground water levels are calculated for any kind of soil, not just soil that is sensitive to subsidence. This means this step kan be skipped if you're using the ground water level result types(s).''

| |
| | |
| ====Water level areas====
| |
| Subsidence is only calculated within water level areas, regardless of what data is present in the [[project]]. These areas are defined by the fact that they have a WATER_LEVEL [[attribute]]. | |
| | |
| There are 2 ways of getting this data into your project: by importing it (i.e. your own data) into the [[project]] as [[area]]s with [[attribute]]s, or by manually drawing the appropriate [[area]]s and adding [[attribute]]s to those.

| |
| | |
| ====Refresh overlays====
| |
| When data has been loaded in or changed in the [[editor]], the [[grid overlay|grid]] is not updated automatically, so you will not immediately see your changes. To force the grid to update, you can [[grid overlay#refresh grid|refresh the grid]].
| |
| | |
| ''Note that only oxidation is calculated outside of a session or testrun. Compaction requires a stakeholder to take a certain type of action first.''
| |
| | |
| ====Further data====
| |
| It's possible to configure the overlay further with additional data.
| |
| | |
| =====Ground water levels=====
| |
| By default, the ground water levels are loaded in from a publicly available geotiff automatically. Under the "Keys" tab in the [[right panel]], you can change the selected geotiff by selecting a different one at "Include Ground Water Tiff". You can also disable the ground water geotiff, and use a ground water level attribute of areas instead.
| |
| | |
| {{Editor steps|title=add your own ground water data|Select the overlay|In the [[right panel]], select the "keys" tab|Uncheck the "Include Ground Water Tiff" checkbox|Select or create an area, part of the [[3D world]]|Add the attribute "GLG" to the area, with a value of, for example, "-1"}}
| |
| | |
| =====Clay thickness=====
| |
| By default, no data about clay thickness is available, and is considered to be "0". It's possible to add this attribute to areas to further influence the amount of subsidence taking place.
| |
|
| |
|

|
| When a subsidence overlay is added, with one or more result type child overlays, changing the configuration of the parent overlay will also affect the results presented by the child overlays. However, when multiple subsidence overlays are added to a project, changing the configuration of one overlay will not affect the results of the other overlays.
