====Inundation====
An inundation is an initial placement of a quantity of water. This differs from the {{inlink|lcase=1|Water level area}}s in that an inundation level allows you to place water anywhere on the surface.{{RequestImage|description=Same image as for water area, but in which the water terrain is already filled and the other valley isn't, but in the second image is filled with water.}}

====Aquifer====
The aquifer is an additional definition for the underground, allowing for {{inlink|Underground model|underground horizontal flow}} different from the underground terrain's {{inlink|GROUND_INFILTRATION_MD_underground|GROUND_INFILTRATION_MD}}.{{RequestImage|description=Wide Depiction of underground terrain. Part of the underground has 1 or 2 arrows to depict flowing right. A part further right is highlighted (the aquifer) and has 3 or 4 arrows depicting flow to the right.}}

Note that the aquifer only functions if its hydraulic conductivity is greater than 0. If it is 0 or less the aquifer is disregarded, and the {{inlink|GROUND_INFILTRATION_MD_underground|GROUND_INFILTRATION_MD}} of the underground terrain is used.

The water system can be enhanced with a number of hydrological features, which can be loaded in as areas. These hydrological features form special properties or modifications on the hydrological system.
