Groundwater level formula (Water Overlay): Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 15:18, 26 January 2024

Groundwater level is calculated per cell.

h_{s}={\frac {V_{s}}{f_{ws}}}

w_{g}=h_{s}+B_{c}-d_{b,c}

Where:

h_{s}

= The height (column) of the saturated zone.

V_{s}

= The amount of water in the saturated zone. The height of the water column if the equivalent amount of water was placed on the surface.

f_{ws}

= The WATER_STORAGE_PERCENTAGE of the ground terrain type, used here as a fraction.

w_{g}

= The groundwater level, relative to datum. Also known as the watertable.

B_{c}

= the datum height of the surface of cell c, set by the elevation or a Terrain elevation prequel.

d_{b,c}

= The ground bottom distance of the cell c, defined by a Bottom distance prequel or a general GROUND_BOTTOM_DISTANCE_M of the Water Overlay.
