Groundwater level formula (Water Overlay): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:09, 19 June 2019

Groundwater level is calculated per cell.

WH_underground = W_sat / WSP

WL_underground = WH_underground + H_surface - GBDM

Where:

WL_underground = The groundwater level, relative to datum. Also known as the watertable.
WH_underground = The height (column) of the saturated zone.

W_sat = The amount of water in the saturated zone. The height of the water column if the equivalent amount of water was placed on the surface.
H_surface = The surface height in the cell, relative to datum.
GBDM = The GROUND_BOTTOM_DISTANCE_M (effectively available height in the underground model).
WSP = The WATER_STORAGE_PERCENTAGE of the underground terrain type.
