How to correct a culvert connecting two water level areas

A culvert crossing the dotted blue line indicating the edge of a water area.

With the Culvert removed no water flows across the edge.

When using the Water Overlay, Water Areas define how water is initialized at the start of the simulation. However, after initializing, the water is free to flow across the borders between separate Water Areas if this is physically possible. Typically, barriers like Weirs or Pumps are used to maintain specific water levels on each side of a border. A Culvert between Water Areas of different levels allows water to flow freely, which may not maintain intended water levels. The Tygron Platform detects these situations and will show a warning for it, as a prompt to check explicitly whether this data is correct.

• If the Culvert truely exists in that location, you don't need to do anything. The Culvert will function as expected, despite the warning.
• If the Culvert does not exist in that location, it is recommended to remove it.
