Water Module

Rainfall overlay, part of the water module

The water module in the Tygron Platform is intended to simulate the movement of (liquid) water in the project area, and the impact of this movement. The water module is based on established theory and is validated using (combinations of) different existing benchmarks.

The Water Module is implemented as different grid based water overlays, where each overlay is tuned for specific analyses, insights, use cases and results.

	Rainfall Overlay	provides insight into the water stress and impact caused by (excessive) rainfall
	Flooding Overlay	provides insight into water stress and impact caused by breaches in levees or other sources causing excessive water inflow
	Groundwater Overlay	provides insight into long-term processes of water flow both on the surface and underground
