WaterConditions

Water conditions of a soil.

Property	Long name	Unit	Description
Name	Name	-	Name of the water conditions.
Comments	Comments	-	Comments on the water conditions.
Conditions	Conditions	-	Global level The pore pressure distribution is hydrostatic and it is automatically calculated from the global water level. Custom level The pore pressure distribution is hydrostatic and it is automatically calculated from a custom water level. Head The pore pressure distribution is hydrostatic and defined by giving the zref. User-defined The pore pressure distribution is defined manually by giving the zref, pref and pinc. Interpolate The pore pressure distribution is linearly interpolated from the pore pressures of the adjacent soil layers. Dry The pore pressure in the soil layer is equal to zero.
RefPos	yref	Length	y-coordinate where the pore pressure is equal to zero.
Pref	pref	Force/Length2	Reference pressure.
Pinc	pinc	Force/Length2/Length	Pressure increment.
Level	Level	-	Name of the water level from which the pore pressure distribution is calculated.
