Create an HEC-WAT Study from Scratch
This quick start guide provides the user with instructions on creating an HEC-WAT study from scratch and building the schematic for the default alternative.
Create an HEC-WAT Study from Existing Models
This quick start guide provides instructions for creating an HEC-WAT study from scratch using existing HEC-ResSim, HEC-HMS, and HEC-RAS models.
Reviewing Results
To view model results in HEC-WAT, at least one simulation map window should be open in the Desktop Pane. Results will display for the active simulation map window by the model alternatives that are associated with the simulation.
