Who Should Attend?
This course is recommended for design engineers, hydrologists, and project managers faced with the need to simulate the effects of synthetic or historic rainfall events on watershed floodplains and/or design facilities to convey or mitigate the resulting flows. It is also excellent for existing DOS HEC-1 users wishing to make the transition to the Windows-based HEC-HMS.

Training Overview
This three-day, hands-on training course balances lecture material and class discussion with hands-on software training for the FEMA-approved HEC-HMS program developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Course topics include historic and synthetic rainfall events, loss models, unit hydrograph techniques, baseflow models, calibration techniques, storage and channel routing, and flow splits. Data management using HEC-DSS utility programs is also covered, as well as the use of HEC-HMS in conjunction with HEC-RAS.

Using HEC-HMS with HEC-RAS

Course Materials
In this course, you will use the Windows-based HEC-HMS software developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to model a variety of watershed situations. Hands-on workshop problems cover rainfall and runoff modeling, channel and storage routing, calibration of model parameters to match recorded data, and review of model output. HEC-HMS is approved by FEMA and can serve as a replacement for HEC-1 for many types of analysis. It is available as part of Haestad Methods HEC-Pack, which also includes Graphical HEC-1, HEC-RAS, and HEC-GIS.

Required Training For Certification
How can you distinguish yourself as an engineer who is staying abreast of the latest technology and applications in floodplain hydrology? The answer is certification. Certified training raises credibility with clients, proves your organization meets important training standards, and increases an engineer's contribution to an enterprise.

Each participant in this 3-day training series will earn the status of Certified Haestad Methods Master Modeler for Floodplain Hydrology - a testament to tough training. See Certification for more details.
