Migrating from MFP to HEC-MetVue in HEC-RTS

MFP has been retired following the release of CWMS 3.5 in September 2025, therefore all watersheds must be upgraded to use HEC-MetVue as a replacement for MFP. Follow these steps prior to upgrading your watersheds to version 3.5. 

Converting Files from DSS 6 to DSS 7

With the release of CWMS/HEC-RTS 3.4, HEC-RTS and the complete suite of HEC programs included have been upgraded to support the latest version of HEC-DSS (HEC-DSS 7). From now on, HEC software will create HEC-DSS 7 files by default.
