Aquifer (Water Overlay)

The aquifer is an additional definition for the underground, allowing for underground horizontal flow different from the underground terrain's GROUND_INFILTRATION_MD.

Aquifer height (Water Overlay)

Icon	Key	Unit	Range	Description	Default value
	AQUIFER_KD	m²/day		The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer, which dictates the speed at which water can flow horizontally through the underground.	n/a

Notes

• The aquifer only functions if its hydraulic conductivity is greater than 0. If it is 0 or less the aquifer is disregarded, and the GROUND_INFILTRATION_MD of the underground terrain is used.
• The aquifer functionality is also used to model drainages.
