Course Contents
The course will cover 3 main topics across 3 parts.
Part 1
- Introduction to HEC program architecture and overview of HEC-HMS program structure
- Overview of the HEC-DSS data storage system, and how HEC programs interact with it.
- Downloading and preparing terrain data for HEC-HMS and using HEC-HMS catchment delineation tools to create a hydrological model

- Creating and computing a simulation run
- Viewing model results
Part 2
- Downloading and preparing observed, gauge data
- Applying gauge data to the hydrological model
- Calibration using HEC-HMS parameter optimisation for storm events
- Calibration using long term continuous simulation and flood frequency analysis using HEC-SSP
- Overview of parameters (loss, transform, reach-routing)
- Sensitivity analysis using HEC-HMS Monte-Carlo
Part 3
- Downloading and preparing gridded rainfall data for an Australian catchment
- Using ARR gridded data within HEC-HMS
- Brief introduction to Storm Injector by Catchment Simulation Solutions for ARR 2019
- Importing basin model into Storm Injector
- Downloading point and gridded ARR 2019 data
- Computing peak flow, volume, and time to peak
- Interpreting box charts for adopted temporal pattern and critical duration
- Plotting hydrographs and rainfall hyetographs
