piping failure

Hi Chris,
I'm modelling the breach of a dam using option 1. When I simulate an overtopping breach (WSL at time of breach in the reservoir = top of dam elevation), the graphical output seems very logical to me. However, when I simulate a piping breach, the WSL goes well above the top of dam elevation (approximately 1.5 metres) before it depletes. The WSL at time of breach is the same I'm using for the overtopping breach (= top of dam elevation). What could be going wrong?

Thanks,
Oswaldo.
