River Analysis System (HEC-RAS)

The River Analysis System, known as HEC-RAS, is a software tool developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It helps engineers and scientists analyze how water flows in rivers and streams. HEC-RAS simulates various conditions, such as rainfall and flood events, to predict water levels and potential flooding areas. By modeling the river's behavior, HEC-RAS aids in designing flood control measures, managing water resources, and ensuring safety for communities near waterways. Its use is vital for effective planning and response to water-related challenges.
