Introduction to HEC-HMS
(Hydrologic Modeling System)
This new course combines hydrologic theory with the application of the Corps of Engineers hydrologic software, HEC-HMS version 3.4. Attendees will learn basic rainfall-runoff processes, storage and channel routing techniques, HMS model setup and simulation. Applications include watershed modeling, channel routing and detention pond analysis. The course does not cover GEO-HMS. All attendees must bring their own laptop computers to get the full benefits of the course. Course materials include Course Workbook, HMS User Manuals and HMS software. 1.4 CEUs.
