HEC-RAS Water Quality

Four water quality modules (Temperature, GCSM, NSMI, NSMII) have been integrated into HEC-RAS for performing water quality analysis. The one-dimensional (1D) HEC-RAS water quality modeling capabilities have been used to support studies for Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) analysis, military installations, and environmental impact studies. Recent studies include the Columbia-Snake River watershed, Missouri River, lower Minnesota River, Calleguas Creek, and the Patuxent River.

The new water quality capabilities are available in HEC-RAS Version 6.
