Improvement Description
Dear Wflow colleagues,
I am putting forward that the efficiency of subsurface flow can be improved.
The saturated hydraulic conductivity varies with depth depending on the models we select such as "layered", "exponential", "exponential_constant", "layered_exponential".
From my understanding, independently of the selected model we can compute for every cell in the profile the horizontal saturated hydraulic conductivity kh_profile[j] per cell as follows:
$Kh\_profile[i]=horizontal\_to\_vertical\_hydraulic\_Conductivity\_Ratio . Kv\_profile[i]$
If this is the case, then why in for example the lateral_subsurface_flow.jl do we go to into the trouble of recomputing Kv_profile to compute Kh_profile by using different structures for example KhExponential, KhExponentialConstant, KhLayered?
With kindness,
Joseph A.P. Pollacco
