How to configure the Waterwijzer Overlay to use groundwater results from other calculations

The Waterwijzer Overlay can provide insight into the loss of earnings in agrarian locations, due to hydrological conditions in the underground. By connecting it to other calculation models, specifically for their computed groundwater levels, it's possible to set up a dynamic model in which actions can directly influence the viability of crops, and thus the resulting expected earnings.

Adding subsidence calculations

Editor → Current Situation (Ribbon tab) → Overlays (Ribbon bar) → Waterwijzer Overlay (Left panel)

How to account for subsidence in the Waterwijzer Overlay:

1. Ensure the project has a configured Subsidence Overlay.
2. Ensure the Subsidence Overlay has both a high ground water result type and a low ground water result type.
3. In the Editor, open the list of Overlays.
4. In the left panel, select the Waterwijzer Overlay, and open its configuration wizard.
5. Continue to the groundwater steps.
6. In the step for low groundwater, opt to select an Overlay.
7. Select the Subsidence Overlay's result for low ground water.
8. In the step for high groundwater, opt to select an Overlay.
9. Select the Subsidence Overlay's result for high ground water.
10. Finish and close the wizard.
11. If neccesary, recalculate the Overlay.
12. The Waterwijzer Overlay now shows results.

Notes

• To add both subsidence and groundwater flow calculations, first add subsidence to the Water Overlay, and then follow the steps for connecting the results of the Water Overlay to the Waterwijzer Overlay.
