Pressure increases in sealed manholes and showing the true water level in a sealed system.

It might be worth considering for inclusion in a future release of Flow: showing what the true water level in a sealed manhole would be (if it was an ideal system with no leaks and infinite materials strength) and showing the pressure in the seale...
