    HEC-HMS modeling Reservoir with both spillways and pumps

    I am looking to model a watershed with a reservoir. In addition to the direct precipitation runoff, the reservoir is also receiving pumped inflow from nearby wastewater facility. The reservoir has an emergency spillway weir and also a pump discharging at a constant flow rate (apprx. 15cfs)...

    HydroCAD - modeling Siphon system?

    I am not all to familiar with Siphon system. But just got this Dam with a primary outlet structure being a Siphon system. I have included a link that shows the siphon system. I need help modeling the system in Hydrocad. What is the Start Elevation? Break Elevation...

    Hydrocad - Stage-Discharge rating table increments?

    Any way to adjust the Stage-Discharge increment in HydroCad? I have the outlet structures added and would like to have discharge rating for every 1-ft increment in Stage. Any way to set the stage-Discharge increments? it appears to be set arbitrary by the program.

    Hydrocad copy paste or import Pond Stage data storage

    I am using Hydrocad 10.0. Any way to copy or paste the Pond Stage Storage data or import the data from a text file? It appears to only allow manual entry of the Pond stage-storage data.

    HEC-HMS modeling Obstruction in pipe or blockage?

    HELP! Is there an option or way to input blocked depth to represent sediments inside a pipe culvert in HEC-HMS? I am required to use HEC-HMS for this. And the extensive system was already modeled in HEC-HMS, so i can't use other modeling tools like Hydrocad. The idea is to model the varying...

    HEC-HMS Reach flow out is zero

    I need some help with HEC-HMS. I am modeling a drainage area with two sub-basins in Hec-HMS. Each connect to a Reach and the two Reaches connect to a joint, and then an outfall. Using Muskingum-Cunge routing method for the Reaches. But one reach has zero discharge even though the upstream...

    Drainage profile - How to determine vertical scale?

    I kinda feel stupid asking this question, but I can't get my head around it. I just finished displaying a drainage pipe profile exaggerated 10 times on the vertical. No exaggeration on the Horizontal, so thats 1:1. If my vertical is exaggerated 10 times, and I have a 20-scale border sheet...

    Obtaining flow Hydrograph from a drainage area

    Hi everyone, i am newbie when it comes to hydrology and I need to obtain the hydrograph data for a small drainage area. Here is my drainage area info: DA = 2.5 acres RCN = 76 Tc = 0.12 HR I was given the following rainfall depths = 8.5 inches rain in 24-HR I just need to get the hydrograph...

    Dam Breach Analysis of Ponds in series

    I am tasked with performing dam breach analysis of two ponds in series. That is, the ponds are nested together, right next to each other. The upstream dam outlets directly into the downstream pond. if the upstream dam fails, the water will spill down to the downstream pond before being released...

    How do I create HEC-RAS cross section with 0 sta at center

    HEC-RAS newbie here. I am trying to create a HEC-RAS cross-section with 0 station at the center of the stream. I draw the cross-sections in Bentley Microstation and then use inroads to export to HEC-RAS.geo file. How do i get the cross sections so that everything left of the stream has a...

    Inroads "apply" button grayed out

    I am using Inroads Storm & Sanitary to layout my drainage network. However, when I go to compute flows using the SCS method, the "Apply" button is grayed out. The inroads drainage.sdb file is not read only or locked in any way. I am able to click "apply" button on other screens and menus. But...

    TW depth on closed storm drain sys

    I am trying to figure out the Headwater depth of a 24" Culvert that ties into a manhole. The Q = 18.50cfs (100-yr) and dia=24" with Headwall. What is the tailwater depth? Can I use the 100-yr HGL at the pipe end as the tailwater depth or just use the normal depth of flow?

    Open Channel - storage volume with longitudinal slope

    Hi, I am trying to find the storage volume behind a check dam on an open channel. The channel has a longitudinal slope and depth of 6-inches. If I need to store say 100 cf of water, with a 6-in check dam, and a longitudinal slope of 0.01 ft/ft. what is the required length? Many approaches...
