Visualize levee breach from water body inside project area use case (Water Overlay)

When a levee breaks water is free to flow through the breach and onto otherwise dry land. There are multiple ways of simulating a breach in a levee.
This scenario assumes the source water body is entirely within the project map.
How to visualize a breach:
- Add a Flooding Overlay.
- Configure the Overlay with a basic hydrological system.
- Add a Surface last value result type to the Overlay, if not already present.
- Either manually add a breach and input area to the project, or import a breach and input area.
- Ensure the Overlay is (re)calculated.
- Inspect the 'Surface last value' result.
- Select the 'play' option in the Overlay's legend. The animation will show the flow of the water from the breach.
Notes
- Add multiple breaches by repeating the addition step.
