[Major] Automatic simulation termination based on contact of the hydrocarbon plume with any hydrologic feature #5

When the working fluid contacts water bodies (rivers, ponds, lakes, etc.), we will just assume the water bodies capture all working fluid that is in contact with them. And the working fluid will neither cross the water bodies nor accumulate at the water/land interface. The transportation of working fluid by water bodies will be carried out by other numerical solvers.

This will require the solver to be able to:

A possible required need is to record the information of working fluid flowing into water bodies so that the subsequent hydrologic transport solver can use them as inputs. The information may include:

While this possible need is not in the original plan, we'll have to discuss this.
