A Practical Introduction to 1D River Modelling using HEC-RAS

Learn to model river flows with HEC-RAS! This comprehensive, step-by-step course teaches you how to build and analyze 1-D river models using the widely used HEC-RAS software.

What you'll learn:

• River Modeling Fundamentals: No prior experience needed! We'll start with the basics of river modeling.
• HEC-RAS Software: Master the popular HEC-RAS river analysis software – available for free download! Discover its advantages over other river modeling packages.
• River Network Construction: Learn to create accurate river networks within HEC-RAS.
• Adding River Structures: Model bridges, culverts, weirs, and other structures to your river model.
• Flow Simulations: Run both steady flow and unsteady flow simulations to analyze river behavior.
• Scenario Analysis: Explore how to simulate real-world scenarios, including the impact of climate change and the effectiveness of levees.

This course is ideal for both beginners and experienced river engineers looking to learn HEC-RAS. Whether you're studying river channel processes in academia or working in the river engineering industry, this workshop provides essential skills.

A downloadable course manual is included for independent study and reinforcement of the video presentations. Gain practical skills in 1-D river modeling with HEC-RAS and prepare for success in your river-related studies or career.
