|name=groundwater
The Groundwater overlay uses the [[Water Module|water module]] in the Tygron Platform to calculate and visualize the movement of water underground and the resulting [[Watertable|watertable]].
|optimized=calculating the flow of underground watertables
|focus=water flowing at a low speed, and on the functioning of the water system without calamitous events such as breaches
|use-cases=
* Modeling a static, low-speed 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
|preparation=It is important to model a fully functional static water system for any relevant use of the overlay. After setting up the static water model, additional effects can be modeled to account for special circumstances. This has the added benefit of creating a control-state, to which results of modifications or calamities can be compared.

|refinement1-name=Ground water
|refinement1-description=The functioning of groundwater is commonly strongly influenced not only by the groundwater level but also the [[Water Overlay#GROUND_BOTTOM_DISTANCE_M|assumed distance to the impenetrable layer]] below ground. That layer is effectively the lowest the groundwater level can be.
