Dear Jonathan,

1) I mean flood_water_thickness makes sense enough and I'm glad to use it.

9) Yes, I and colleagues are happy to use
flood_water_duration_above_threshold.
  When possible, it is good to have names sound natural for people speaking
English everyday :)

Thank you so much!

Best Regards,
Eizi
