Rain and simulation time are related, and must be configured simultaneously. Changing the duration of the rain (or associated dry periods) automatically changes the simulation time, and vice-versa.

Editor → Current Situation (Ribbon tab) → Overlays (Ribbon bar) → The Water Overlay (Left panel) → Configuration Wizard (Right panel)
How to load in dynamic rain and simulation time:
  1. Prepare a CSV file with a sequence of times and rain amounts. (See example below.)
  2. Open the configuration wizard of the Water Overlay.
  3. Continue to the step concerning weathers.
  4. Select the weather event you wish to update, or select "Add" to create a new one.
  5. Set the "Rain over Time" setting to "Custom".
  6. Select "Import". This will open the "Import CSV" window.
  7. Select "Import new CSV", and open your file.
  8. Answer the prompts regarding the format of your file.
  9. Verify that the data has been loaded in as expected. Take special note of the time format.
  10. Close the "Import CSV" window.
  11. Verify that the total simulation time and the total rainfall match your expectations.
  12. Close the wizard.
