Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS)

The Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) is a computer-based tool used by hydrologists and engineers to simulate how rainfall and other weather events move through a watershed or basin. It helps predict things like how much water will flow into streams and rivers during storms, allowing for better flood management and water resource planning. By inputting data such as rainfall, soil type, and land use, HEC-HMS models the entire water cycle from precipitation to runoff, providing valuable insights for designing infrastructure and managing flood risks effectively.
