HEC (Hydrologic Engineering Center)

The Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers organization that develops and provides advanced tools and methods for managing water resources. It focuses on analyzing how water moves through natural and built systems, such as rivers, dams, and drainage networks. HEC's software helps engineers predict flooding, plan flood control measures, and design hydraulic structures. Its work supports water resource planning, flood risk management, and environmental conservation, ensuring safe and efficient handling of water-related challenges in various communities and infrastructures.
