HEC-RTS features graphical menus and tools organized by modules (i.e., tabs): 

  • Acquisition - for collecting, monitoring, validating, and editing data.
  • Visualization - for viewing data.
  • Modeling - for running forecasts and reviewing results.
  • Setup - for configuring a watershed , including coordinate systems, map layers, program sequence, model alternatives, forecast runs, extracts, and posts.

This section provides an overview of the interface and its key capabilities.

Here are a few navigation tips: 

  • Context-sensitive commands - The software hides commands that do not apply to the current module or selected element. If a command seems to be missing, verify that you've selected the correct module or element.
  • Directory tree navigation - The directory tree displays all elements configured in the watershed. When you add a new element, it will automatically appear in the tree.
  • Right-click access - Most commands related to a selected element can be accessed by right-clicking on that element.
