It is not an easy task to answer these questions as we have to take into account several factors like the riverbed type, its slope or nature (type of material, presence of vegetation, etc.). When we study a segment of a specific river to see where the water would flow if reached a certain value, different questions arise such as what will be the height reached by the water profile? Will surrounding areas be flooded? To what extent?
The course will prepare engineers and water resource professionals to use HEC-RAS in real-world projects for hydraulic design and modeling of rivers, channels, flood control systems, roadway crossings, waterway bridges and FEMA floodplain analysis.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) software package HEC-RAS (River Analysis System) is required in the private and public sectors for hydraulic modeling of surface flow and design of civil engineering structures.
