HEC-RPT is designed to be as simple as possible, while providing users with a tool for creating water management alternatives and viewing historical data that is flexible enough to accommodate a range of formulation approaches used in group settings.  In HEC-RPT, the basic framework for formulating alternatives is that recommendations are 1) created for different subjects of interest known as systems, 2) related to hydrologic condition or seasonal conditions known as states, and 3) expressed as a series of desired conditions known as components.  Figure 1 shows key features of the main interface.
