The purpose of this page is to provide an overview of the many components of the Water Module. It can serve as a basis to further explore the details of the available components, the models and formula's behind these components and configurable parameters of these components.

Rain related components

The following components relate to the Rainfall Overlay:

Models

  1. Rainfall (Weather and Rain Areas)
  2. Surface flow and runoff
  3. Evaporation
  4. Infiltration
  5. Sewer infiltration
  6. Sewer overflow
  7. Water storage (for example: Green roof)

Hydrological features and structures

In order to get more familiar with the different Rain related components check out Quadrant 2 of the Water Module Testbed. This Testbed is available to you as a project in the Tygron Platform.


Flooding related components

The following components define the Flooding Overlay:

  1. Breach
  2. Initial breach width
  3. Breach growth over time
  4. Surface elevation
  5. Impacted buildings
  6. Internal (or External) area, origin of flood.


In order to get more familiar with the different Flooding related components check out Quadrant 1 of the Water Module Testbed. This Testbed is available to you as a project in the Tygron Platform.

Groundwater related components

The following components define the Groundwater Overlay:
