Has anyone experience with using r.sim.water under Windows?
I'm planning to use it for the simulation of flash flood events.
I tried it with a DEM (1m resolution) with the following

Leaving everything else unchanged for a testrun, I get the
following message
and r.sim.water crashes:

"r.sim.water.exe hat ein Problem festgestellt und muss
beendet werden."
("r.sim.water.exe has detected a problem and has to be
closed")

Can anyone tell me what's going wrong?

probably a memory allocation bug. I get the same error on WinGrass
running the spearfish example from the r.sim.water help page, but
in Linux it works perfectly.

filed as bug #617:
  https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/617

Would it be better to use GRASS under Linux for this purpose?

in general grass is way better tested in linux + Mac and most things
work really well there. but on the other hand we need testers to find
all these Windows bugs & the quicker we find them the quicker WinGrass
becomes bug-free. :slight_smile:
