HEC-RAS (Hydraulic Engineering Center - River Analysis System)

HEC-RAS (Hydraulic Engineering Center - River Analysis System) is a software tool used by engineers to analyze river and stream flows. It helps model how water moves through rivers, channels, and floodplains under different conditions. By simulating water levels, flow velocities, and flood risks, HEC-RAS assists in designing flood control measures, evaluating infrastructure impacts, and managing water resources. It considers factors like river geometry, flow rates, and obstacles to provide detailed insights into hydraulic behavior, supporting safer and more effective water management decisions.
