    Is this possible in HEC HMS?

    Is it possible to define TWO frequency storm met models in HMS and assign one of them to one sub-watershed (or a few) and one of them to the remaining sub-watersheds? The question is posed in the context of a large study area with highly variable rainfall from one end to the other.

    trouble importing manning's n values from arcmap via hec-georas

    In RAS Geometry have you run Manning's N Values -> Create LU Manning Table and Extract N Values after you processed all cut lines? In HEC, you will know this worked as either a single N Value will be populated at the first station if using Global N, the LOB, Channel, and ROB values will be N/A...

    Bridge Starts as Lateral Structure?

    I have a series of bridges (two) that occur relatively close together. As seen from the attached GIS images, the first upstream bridge enter the floodplain from a parellel direction. How would I best attach the downstream cross section to this bridge without encroaching into the upstream cross...

    All, I'm a GIS-guy supporting some H&H folks with HEC-GEORas for several large innundation projects, and I have a question pertaining to my assumption that I "junction" a river so that different flow volumes can be assigned along the river reach(es)...e.g. incremental analysis: I assume that...
