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:
  1. Add a Flooding Overlay.
  2. Configure the Overlay with a basic hydrological system.
  3. Add a Surface last value result type to the Overlay, if not already present.
  4. Either manually add a breach and input area to the project, or import a breach and input area.
  5. Ensure the Overlay is (re)calculated.
  6. Inspect the 'Surface last value' result.
  7. 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.
