ADVANCED APPLICATIONS OF HEC-HMS
Control Number: 369
Course Number: 35AHC01A
Length:36
CEUs: 0.0 PDHs: 0.0 LUs: 0.0 PDUs: 0.0 CMs: 0.0 ACE: 0.0 CEHs: 0.0
Purpose:
This course provides instruction on the Corps' Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) and its application to hydrologic modeling analyses. Workshops provide hands-on reinforcement of scientific and engineering principles presented in lectures. Students will be prepared to work on many types of water resources studies after completing the course. The learned skills can be applied to studies in flood risk management, ecosystem restoration, forecasting, and dam and levee safety.
Description:
The course covers a variety of areas that go beyond the Basic HEC-HMS course which focuses on event-based flood hydrology. This course contains modules on continuous simulation, including the details of modeling water content in the soil, evaporation and transpiration, and details of the components included in HEC-HMS for representing these processes. This course also contains modules on model calibration and validation, snow processes and snowmelt modeling, parameter optimization, uncertainty analysis, modeling frequency and hypothetical storms, and ensemble analysis. A final project is included that ties together the various lecture and workshop topics that were introduced throughout the week.
Prerequisites:
Nominees must have a working knowledge of hydrologic processes and how they are represented in HEC-HMS. Students should have taken Course 178, Hydrologic Modeling with HEC-HMS, or have equivalent work experience. Basic HEC-HMS navigation skills will not be taught in this class. Nominees must be assigned (a) Occupational Series: Selected 0800 and 1300; (b) Grade: GS-09 or above.
