HEC-RAS-hydraulic modeling software

Example

Used for analyzing flow through channels at a constant or steady rate, helpful in designing water structures like dams or for river flood planning.

Scenario

Engineers use steady flow analysis to design levees by simulating flood conditions to understand how high water levels rise during peak flow conditions.

Example

Simulates changing hydraulic conditions over time, such as those during a storm event.

Scenario

Emergency management agencies simulate storm events to predict how quickly rivers will rise and fall, helping to issue timely flood warnings.

Example

Predicts how sediment moves and accumulates, which can affect flood risk and habitat.

Scenario

Environmental scientists study sediment transport to understand how riverbank erosion might change the landscape over years, impacting habitats and human structures.

Example

Analyzes the movement and concentration of pollutants in water bodies.

Scenario

Public health officials use this function to predict the spread of harmful pollutants after a chemical spill into a river system.
