What is GeoHECRAS?
GeoHECRAS is an integrated software package that combines geographic information system (GIS) capabilities with the hydraulic modeling capabilities of HEC-RAS. It allows users to display, manage, analyze, and visualize spatial data related to riverine systems, including terrain data, bridge and culvert data, land use data, and more.
Key features of GeoHECRAS include:
Tight integration between ArcGIS and HEC-RAS for streamlined workflows
Powerful terrain processing and geospatial analysis tools
Advanced 2D flow modeling capabilities
Ability to visualize simulation results on terrain and aerial imagery
Tools for floodplain and flood inundation mapping
Bridge and culvert data management, analysis and modeling
Customizable reporting and graphing environment
With its combination of GIS and advanced hydraulics, GeoHECRAS is well-suited for floodplain management, flood risk analysis, flood inundation mapping, and other applications relying on accurate modeling and mapping of river and floodplain systems.
