Introduction

HEC-HMS by the US Army Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center is designed to simulate the precipitation-runoff processes of dendritic watershed systems. The main goal of this course is to provide an understanding of the basic functions of the HEC-HMS program and how to use it efficiently.  This is accomplished through a combination of slideshow lecture sessions and workshops. Lectures will cover the basic concepts, program options, user interface, data requirements, output review, and case studies. Workshops provide a hands-on experience for the user.

Workshops

Hands-On Workshops:

The purpose of these workshops is to walk you through the process of setting up a detailed model in HEC-HMS. In the final workshop # 8, you will create a second project and model a watershed with both existing and proposed development, and mitigate the impacts cause by the development. The workshop will also illustrate how to perform various calculations not supported by HEC-HMS.

Workshops Topics:

1. Constructing the Element Network

2. Hypothetical Frequency Rainfall & Composite Weighted-Average Rainfall

3. Loss Function Parameters

4. Unit Hydrograph Parameters

5. Stream Flow Routing Workshop

6. Reservoir Routing

7. Hydrograph Comparison and Basin Parameter Calibration

8. Urban Drainage System Design (project files included)
