Elevation (Water Overlay)

The terrain height defines the height of the terrain on and in which the hydrology is modeled. Terrain height includes the relief on the surface of dry land, but also the height of the stream beds of water bodies.

Terrain height is a required and automatic connection. Each project has a terrain height model. By default the terrain height model will be derived from data sources relevant to the geographical location of the project area. However, especially in water bodies the level of detail of the terrain height may be insufficient. For these situations it's possible to load in a(n additional) GeoTIFF of terrain heights.
