Limit area model attribute (Water Overlay)

Icon	Attribute	Unit	Range	Description	Default value
	LIMIT_AREA	nominal value		Whether and how calculations in the simulation should be limited to specific locations of the project map.	0 (Entire map)

0.	Entire map: Calculations are performed across the entire map. Water can flow anywhere.
1.	Limit to Water Areas: Calculations are only performed in the locations where water areas are present.
2.	Limit to specific Areas: Calculations are only performed in the locations where limitation areas are present.

Notes

• The overlay attribute name for this option is LIMIT_AREA, which is similar to the default Overlay key for Limitation areas.
• When any limit is in effect, water can flow between valid locations, even if those locations are defined through different relevant features (e.g. 2 adjacent water areas).
• In the Weather event step of the Water Overlay Wizard, you can specify the area to be calculated. Selecting 'Limit to specified areas' adds an extra step to the wizard.
