New Developments in HEC (Hydrologic Engineering Center) Programs for Flood Control.

Abstract

The Hydrologic Engineering Center(HEC) implemented HEC-2 for MS-DOS compatible microcomputers (PC) in 1984. The edit program for HEC-2 data (EDIT2) was also implemented at that time. The PC program distribution started in the fall of that year. The programs were modified to meet Fortran 77 standards. The PC versions maintained all the capabilities of the original mainframe version of the programs, except for internal trace and comment information. For the past two years, HEC program development has focussed on providing a more convenient set of programs for PC use. The package for programs described here reflects our attempt to bring together all the necessary tools to accomplish a complete computation and display of water surface profiles on a personal computer. Refinements to the programs, to take advantage of the unique capabilities of the PC, will continue as funds are available. Contents: Overview of the HEC-2 Package; Program Support; Computer Equipment Requirements; New Input/Output Programs; and Current Program Developments.
