General hint:
Please note that r.sim.water has been recently modified in GRASS 6.3-CVS
to support more intuitive units. In case that you use 6.3-CVS, please
check if this (still) matches your input parameters. The manual has
been updated.

The demo script in the source code directory has been updated
accordingly. Get also from here:
