HEC-WAT

HEC-WAT (Hydraulic Engineering Center - Water Apportionment Tool) is a computer program used to analyze and optimize water distribution in large-scale irrigation and water management systems. It helps engineers and planners simulate how water flows through canals, reservoirs, and fields, enabling them to make informed decisions about allocation, scheduling, and infrastructure design. By modeling various scenarios, HEC-WAT ensures efficient, equitable, and sustainable use of water resources, minimizing waste and preventing shortages. It is a valuable tool for managing complex water systems to meet agricultural, municipal, and environmental needs effectively.
