This document is a guide to setting up an HEC-RTS watershed. The document is not comprehensive and is intended to be used along with the HEC-RTS User's Manual. Some areas will cover detail, where others will refer the reader to other documentation. This document is intended to provide a user who is implementing a watershed in HEC-RTS a step-by-step process.
Chapters 3 and 4 provide the user with an overview of the HEC-RTS framework. Chapter 5 introduces the user to creating an HEC-RTS study from scratch. Chapters 6 thru 9 are standalone chapters that lead a user thru creating an HEC-RTS study by importing individual models (Chapter 6); integrating models (Chapter 7); setting up the HEC-HMS model for forecast optimization (Chapter 8); and, incorporating Time Series Icons for both archived and real-time data (Chapters 9 and 10).
