There are a few modes available for the [[Water Module]], dictating where calculations are to be performed:
{{nominal list|zeroindex=true
* '''Entire map'''. Calculations are performed across the entire map. Water can flow anywhere.
|| '''Entire map''': Only the weather's configured rainfall is used.
* '''Limit to Water Level Areas''' Calculations are only performed in the locations where [[water level area (Water Overlay)|water level area]]s are present.
|3| '''Override specified Areas''': The weather's configured rainfall  can be overridden by [[Rain area (Water Overlay)|rain areas']] [[Rain m (Water Overlay)|Rain M]] attribute.

0. Entire map: Only the weather's configured rainfall is used.
3. Override specified Areas: The weather's configured rainfall can be overridden by rain areas' Rain M attribute.
Dynamic rainfall defined by 101 different rain areas, which is shown in the mini-map halfway the animation. Animation is showing the last rain result

Notes

  • In the Rain/Flood event step of the Water Overlay Wizard, the area where the configured rain falls can be adjusted. By default, the configured rainfall is equal for each grid cell in the project area and defined by the selected weather. However, when the option Override specified Areas is chosen, the Rain Areas step is added to the wizard, which lets you configure how to identify the Rain Areas. Rain Areas override the weather's rainfall with their specific rainfall.
