Generic Nature-Based Solution

Action Type: Draw Polygon on Terrain (not allowed on scenarios with start time > 0)

Purpose and Effect: This action allows users to create a semi-permeable zone. It may also include a designated storage and a constant loss rate. The primary difference from infiltration zones is that nature-based solutions are modelled using a specialized multi-layer model.

To study the effects of nature-based solutions, users can switch between various visualizations in the Visualization Settings Panel, under the Layers: Visualization category. Begin by activating the terrain overlay and then color the terrain based on a soil property. Options include Infiltrated Height, Stored height, Lost Height, and others.

Additionally, users can also display information as labels through the action tool panel. For a more detailed analysis, label plots are also accessible through the action tool panel. Keep in mind that the \(x\)-axis always shows the entire scenario duration. To complete the plot, simulate until the scenario concludes.
