Water Module overview: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 11:48, 15 July 2026

The purpose of this page is to provide an overview of the many components of the Water Module. Use this page to explore component details, underlying models and formulas, and configurable parameters.

Rain related components

The following components relate to the Rainfall Overlay:

Models

Hydrological features and structures

To learn more about rain-related components, see Quadrant 2 of the Water Module Testbed. This Testbed is available to you as a project in the Tygron Platform.

Flooding related components

The following components define the Flooding Overlay:

Breach
Initial breach width
Breach growth over time
Surface elevation
Impacted buildings
Internal (or External) area, origin of flood.

To learn more about flooding-related components, see Quadrant 1 of the Water Module Testbed. This Testbed is available to you as a project in the Tygron Platform.

Groundwater related components

The following components define the Groundwater Overlay:

To learn more about groundwater-related components, see Quadrant 4 of the Water Module Testbed. This Testbed is available to you as a project in the Tygron Platform.

Hydraulic structures

The following hydraulic structures can be used:
