My wife is a water resources engineer, a type of civil engineering focused on flood prevention and erosion. I think I've finally found a PC game she's going to be excited by.
Other games you might want to recommend, as they include good fluid simulations: From Dust and Cities: Skylines (although not a huge part of the game).

I like poking around with these sorts of sandboxes, but in order to gamify it, you might need some objectives, limitations and planning goals, eg: - you have a limited amount of some mineral or rock that erodes quicker or slower than others, and you need to move water from one location to another. - there is a magma chamber growing under a mountain. Move the villagers out of harms way / destroy enemies. - introduce s…
Plenty of us prefer open ended sandboxes/simulators like Minecraft, C:S, flight sims. Following game designer gets boring fast, setting own goals is always fun Speaking of CS, I wish this simulator had heightmap export.

It's got big corps and large money management, etc. You can scratch that itch for sure.
Is it a grid based system underneath? How do you calculate water displacement, is it with a vector field? anything else you'd like to share about the implementation?

The video mentioned that besides the rendering engine, Novalogic also develop their own terrain generation tool, with erosion methods, elevation decay, etc.
Voxel Space (Comanche Engine):
It seems like it would be a hit.
