About the project

The project Demo Watershed is available for users with access to the Preview and can be found in the main menu under Edit projects. This project does not count for your license. In this project, several components of the Watershed module are visible. It can serve as a working demo to further explore the details of the available components, the used models and formulas and the configurable parameters.

  1. Flooding related components
  2. Rainfall related components

1. Flooding related components

Flooding, breaches and inundation

This specific testbed can be found in the upper right quadrant named: Flooding, breaches and inundation. This quadrant demonstrates a flooding caused by breaches in the levees and the consequential flow of several substances in the accumulated amount of water. Two types of breaches are visualized: a breach with an external water area and a breach with an internal area.

Analyse the quadrant:

  1. Click on the arrows in the quadrant to get familiar with the boundary conditions in the model.
  2. Go to the Flooding Overlay (named 1. Flooding) in the Overlay bar. Play the flooding overlay. This overlay shows the Surface last value result type.
  3. Go to the Direction result type and notice how the water surrounds the construction in the middle of the quadrant.
  4. Take a look at the Substance A, Substance B and Substance C Overlays and notice how these substances are distributed in the water.
  5. Go to the attrributes tab of the Flooding Overlay and notice the value for the Design flood elevation.
  6. Open the flooding wizard and take a look at the settings for the flood event, breach areas, inundation areas and output overlays.
