OVERVIEW
The dataset contains the input files of twenty (20) simulations using Delft3D
Flexible Mesh (DFM). The simulations represent wetlands with different
morphologies:
 00.	flat/reference
 01.	de-embanked
 02.	willow plantation (high)
 03.	willow plantation (low)
 04.	marsh
This wetland morphologies have been exposed to four types of boundary
conditions:
 D.		representative drought conditions:
		Mean water level of 0 m; tidal range of 1.50 m; background salinity of
		0 psu; event duration of 30 days; change in water level during event
		of -0.10 m; change in salinity during event of +6 psu.
 DE.	representative drought conditions (excl. water level change):
		Same as [drought] except no change in water level during event.
 F.		representative flood conditions:
		Mean water level of 0 m; tidal range of 1.50 m; background salinity of 
		0 psu; event duration of one (1) day; change in water level during
		event of +1.41 m; change in salinity during event of +25 psu.
 FE.	representative flood conditions (excl. water level change):
		Same as [flood] except no change in water level during event.
Model simulations are labelled as <boundary-condition><wetland-morphology>, 
e.g., "D00" refers to representative drought conditions with the flat/reference
wetland morphology.

CONTENTS
- input/*:
  Input data for Delft3D Flexible Mesh simulation per wetland-conditions
  combination.
  
DATA FORMAT

  See documentation of Delft3D Flexible Mesh for input files and types.

DATA STRUCTURE
The input data is minimised by including overlapping input files only once;
e.g., the grid-file "dflowfm_net.nc" is used by all simulations. The *.mdu-
files are the core-files, which refer to the relevant input files.
