Background

In this workshop you will be introduced to running forecast simulations in the CAVI using HEC-RAS and the process of producing flood inundation results from those simulations.

Objective

Within this workshop you will complete the following tasks:

  • Reviewing HEC-RAS Mapper for use in forecasts
  • Computing a forecast including HEC-RAS
  • Reviewing results in HEC-RAS and HEC-RAS Mapper
  • Comparing model results to observed data and calibrating an HEC-RAS model
  • Generating model outputs in HEC-RAS Mapper

Tasks

Task 1: HEC-RAS Mapper Setup

Task 2: Running a Forecast with HEC-RAS

Task 3: Generating Inundation Depth Grids
