This manual is generally organized in parallel with the HEC-RTS workflow and could be separated into four sections. The section focused on using HEC-RTS precedes the section focused on configuration because using HEC-RTS is a routine task while setting up watersheds is an infrequent task. Supplemental materials are also included in the manual for additional topics and where more detail is needed.
Section I: The Basics - Useful for all staff.
- Overview of the basic HEC-RTS “infrastructure”.
- Walkthrough of HEC-RTS and introduction layers.
| |
Section II: Using HEC-RTS - Targeted toward operations staff.
- How to view and monitor data.
- How to validate and edit data
- How to run a forecast.
- How to view, manage, and post results
| |
Section III: Configuring HEC-RTS - Targeted toward modeling staff.
- How to configure a watershed.
- How to configure model alternatives.
- How to configure forecast alternatives.
- How to edit model parameters.
| |
Section IV: Supplemental Materials - Supplemental information not covered in the preceding documentation.
- More in-depth explanation of features.

Screenshots were captured using example watersheds. In the GUI, some dialog titles and menu options correspond with the names of items that a user might have specified in the watershed created by a user. Thus, dialog titles and menu options shown in the user's watershed may vary from what is shown here.
