Introduction To Modeling

This document provides an agenda for a two-day workshop on watershed and river flow modeling using HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS. Day 1 will cover introductions, an overview of surface water modeling, hydrologic modeling using HEC-HMS, and building and running HEC-HMS models. Day 2 will include exercises in delineating basins in QGIS, advanced HEC-HMS capabilities, river flow modeling using HEC-RAS, and building and running HEC-RAS models of bridges and culverts. The workshop aims to teach participants how to set up and use the HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS modeling programs to model hydrologic and hydraulic

Introduction to surface water
modeling
Typical modeling problems
What is the resulting flood discharge near a particular
town or village due to a 100-year rainfall event?

What is the temporal variability of river discharge at a


particular location over an extended period (many decades)

To what height should a flood wall or a levee be built for?

What is the impact of groundwater pumping for water


supply on a near by wetland?

…any many more.

Modeling is perhaps the only way!

For a gaged sub-basin, stream flow and


rainfall measurements are used to
derive directly the unit hydrograph.
Q(t) Unit hydrograph

For an ungaged sub-basin, a synthetic unit


hydrograph can be derived indirectly using
subbasin characteristics. These include:
Basin size, slope, shape, stream length,
basin and channel roughness
