HEC-RAS tracks the dredged mass as an output variable and can be reported in mass or volume. The Dredged Mass is reported as a cumulative variable, which reports the total mass or volume removed from the cross section since the beginning of the simulation. Users can visualize this as a time series at a specific cross section, along the reach at a particular time, or the impact on cross section shape.
The mass dredged in a given time step, or the cumulative mass dredged in the model can be displayed in profile and time series shown below.
