Include subsidence effects in Water Overlay calculations by precomputing the Elevation model with a Combo Overlay and setting it as the terrain elevation prequel.

How to add subsidence to a water simulation:
  1. Add and configure a Subsidence Overlay (or other source which defines amounts of subsidence).
  2. Add a Heightmap Overlay, set to DTM mode.
  3. Add a Combo Overlay, which takes the values of the Heightmap Overlay and subtracts the value of the final result of the Subsidence Overlay.
  4. Open the Water Overlay's configuration wizard, and proceed to the step regarding the Elevation Model.
  5. Opt to select a Grid Overlay to determine the elevation model.
  6. Select the Combo Overlay.
  7. Recalculate the water Overlay.
  8. The calculation has now taken into account the specified subsidence effects.
