Computer Models for Rainfall-Runoff and River Hydraulic Analysis.

Abstract

The application of computer technology to analysis of the rainfall-runoff process and the hydraulics of natural rivers has greatly expanded in the past few years. A large number of special purpose programs and a few programs designed for general application have been developed and applied to hydrologic engineering problems. The Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) has developed, over the past 8 years, a number of generalized computer programs for use by the US Army Corps of Engineers in analyzing hydrologic engineering problems. This paper briefly describes the activities of the Hydrologic Engineering Center and discusses the capabilities of two of these programs: (1) Flood Hydrograph Package (HEC-1) and (2) Water Surface Profiles (HEC-2).
