Water capacity ?

[Enzo]

Hi,
what exactly do water capacity in water source from terrain editor mode ?
I do understand water level, but I'm unclear on water capacity ?
does it reduce the strenght of the stream created ? does it limit the maximum volume of water available ?

 

[Enzo]

anyone ?

I'm only guessing, but it is perhaps flow rate? Certainly on some maps you can dry up rivers with a half dozen water pumps whereas others stay strong no matter what.

pretty much what he said ^^ nothing else it can be really

thanks for your answers guys.
yes, I tend to believe it can only be something around flow rate, as in editor map is active in the way time goes on, after a certain number of time whatever the capacity is the water level will be reach. the concern I have with flow rate linked to capacity is I found that flow is much more impacted by the slope of the river bed than by the water capacity. in a nutshell, if you want a strong stream it's better to have slope than high capacity.

also, anyone know how to find the water capacity value of a water plop on a map ?
