groundflow_density rho
groundflow_seepage_geometry 0 -left_edge

The groundwater density $\rho$ as specified in groundflow_density is $1.0 \frac{1000 kg}{m^3}$. On the total left edge there is air, so later we will prescribe in the boundary conditions that the pore pressure is zero at the left edge. However, we also need to be sure that the flux of water can only be directed outward the dam at the left edge, and water cannot enter the dam at the left edge. This is accomplished be using a seepage condition as specified in groundflow_seepage_geometry; with such condition Tochnog will take care that water flux can only be outward, and not inward.
