Zones form a grouping of polygons from Maps loaded in a Map Window. The primary purpose of these zones is for performing Zonal Adjustments across different regions of a watershed. These zones may be based on any user need for grouping basins spatially, but a few common applications include:

  • Regions with similar elevation
  • Regions with similar weather phenomenon (i.e. windward vs leeward slopes)
  • Regions with similar operational constraints (i.e. basins contributing to flow at engineering structures within a watershed)
  • Regions with similar data errors (i.e. areas with dense or sparse gage coverage)

Documentation of Zones within HEC-MetVue are organized into the following pages:
