HEC-RAS

HEC-RAS (Hydrological Engineering Center’s River Analysis System) is a software tool used by engineers to model and analyze river systems, floodplains, and water flow. It helps predict how water moves through rivers, channels, and flood areas under various conditions, such as heavy rainfall or flood events. By simulating these scenarios, HEC-RAS aids in designing flood protection measures, managing water resources, and assessing flood risks. It integrates geographic data and hydraulic calculations to provide detailed insights into water behavior, supporting informed decision-making for flood management, infrastructure planning, and environmental preservation.
