If your topography and water are in two separate FlatFields
with MathTypes:

  ((x, y) -> elevation)

and:

  ((x, y) -> water_depth)

Then you can merge these using the static method of FieldImpl:

    public static Field combine( Field[] fields )

to get a FlatField with MathType:

  ((x, y) -> (elevation, water_depth))

Now if you use ScalarMaps:

  x -> XAxis
  y -> YAxis
  elevation -> ZAxis
  water_depth -> RGB

you should get the display you want.

Good luck,
Bill
