HEC-RAS (Hydrologic Engineering Centers River Analysis System)

HEC-RAS (Hydrologic Engineering Center's River Analysis System) is a software program developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It is used for modeling river systems to study how water flows and behaves in different scenarios, such as floods. The software helps engineers and planners understand river hydraulics, design flood control structures, and assess the impact of various factors on river systems. By simulating water movement, HEC-RAS assists in making informed decisions about river management, environmental protection, and infrastructure development.
