Question regarding BaseSub_3 Test case

Hi,

I have a detailed look on BaseSub_3 test case: unsaturated seepage flow through lab-scale dam. I have difficulty in understanding how the 'boundary' block with face named 'North' in the run file (line # 43) can be related to 'reservoir_level'.
Firstly, the dam with height of 0.57 m has reservoir on western boundary which extends upto 0.48 m only. As the dam is not submerged, how can we impose reservoir water level on the 'north' face. Secondly, on the 'east' face from where seepage is taking place, no bc is applied. Perhaps, the bounce-back bc takes care of that, but, if one declare 'seepage' bc on eastern face would that be OK?
Generally, it would be nice if a schema is provided for explaining the different boundary faces (east, wast, south,north, back, front).

regards
