Software

IWR has software available for planning functions and hydrologic engineering tasks. This software is based on complex modeling systems and is revised as the models become more refined. Although much of this software is Windows based, many programs can run on multiple platforms. Below is a tool to search our online software database. Although this software is made available to the public whenever appropriate, technical support can only be provided to U.S. Army Corps of Engineer users.

HEC-1, Flood Hydrograph Package (v 4.1)
All ordinary flood hydrograph computations associated with a single recorded or hypothetical storm can be accomplished with this package. Capabilities include rainfall-snowfall-snowmelt determinations; computations of basin-average precipitation from gages or hypothetical storms; unit hydrographs via direct ordinates or Clark, Snyder or SCS methods, or by kinematic wave transforms; hydrograph routing by level-pool reservoir, average-lag, modified Puls, Muskingum, Muskingum-Cunge, and kinematic wave methods; and complete stream system hydrograph combining and routing. Best-fit unit hydrograph, loss-rate, snowmelt, base freezing temperatures and routing coefficients can flow over and through breached dams. Expected annual flood damage can also be computed for any location in a river basin. Interfaces with HEC-DSS routines for storing, retrieving, graphing, and tabulating data.

HEC-2, Water Surface Profiles (v 4.6)
The HEC-2 program computes water surface profiles for one-dimensional steady, gradually varied flow in rivers of any cross section. Flow may be subcritical or supercritical. Various routines are available for modifying input cross-section data; for example, for locating encroachments or inserting a trapezoidal excavation on cross sections. The water surface profile through structures such as bridges, culverts and weirs can be computed. Variable channels roughness and variable reach length between adjacent cross sections can be accommodated. Printer plots can be made of the river cross sections can be accommodated. Printer plots can be made of the river cross sections and computed profiles. Input may be in either English or metric units. See separate program description for the HEC-RAS system of software.

HEC-5, Simulation of Flood Control and Conservation Systems (v 8.0)
The HEC-5 program is designed to simulate the sequential operation of a reservoir-channel system with a branched network configuration. Time intervals ranging from one minute to one month can be used, and multiple time intervals can be used within a single simulation. Channel routing can be performed by any of seven hydrologic routing techniques. Reservoirs operate to (1) minimize downstream flooding; (2) evacuate flood control storage as quickly as possible; (3) provide for low-flow requirements and diversions; and (4) meet hydropower requirements. Hydropower requirements can be defined for individual projects or for a system of projects. Pump-storage operation can also be simulated. Sizing of conservation demands or storage can be automatically performed, using the safe yield concept, and economic computations can be provided for hydropower benefits and flood damage evaluation.

HEC-6, Scour and Deposition in Rivers and Reservoirs (v 4.1)
The purpose of this one-dimensional sediment transport model is to calculate water surface and sediment bed surface profiles by computing the interaction between sediment material in the streambed and the flowing water-sediment mixture. The total sediment load is computed for each cross section along with the trap efficiencies for clays, silts, and sands. The change in bed elevation, water surface elevation, and thalweg elevation are also computed for each cross section. Dredging can be simulated and reservoir deposition can be analyzed with the model. Two editions of the HEC-6 program are distributed in the HEC-6 package: "overlayed" and "extended memory". While the basic programs are the same, the extended memory version runs faster and provides for up to 500 cross sections in a 10 stream segment dendritic network while the overlayed version only allows 150 sections. The overlayed version operates within the DOS 640K limit (570Kb RAM). The extended memory version requires a 386 (or better) computer with 2-4Mb extended memory and a math co-processor.
