Facilitates modeling of water flow through channels.

Made by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

    What is HEC-RAS?

    HEC-RAS is a comprehensive tool for modeling the hydraulics of water flow through natural rivers and other channels. It enables users to simulate one-dimensional water flow, analyzing the impact of various factors such as cross-section shape changes, bends, and other multi-dimensional flow aspects. The program's capabilities make it a valuable resource for engineers, planners, and researchers working on projects involving rivers, canals, and other water infrastructure
