the training (examination)
4Module 1
List of objectives in your participant manual:1. Explain the fundamentals of watershed runoff
computations 2. Simulate water control measures 3. Use the HEC-HMS to set up models4. Use HEC-HMS to solve both routine and complex
hydrologic engineering problems5. Troubleshoot HEC-HMS projects6. Evaluate and review HEC-HMS projects7. Develop scopes of work for HEC-HMS use
5Module 1
Equivalent of NHI-HDS-2 (DES-808) A prior college course in hydrology
And/or two years experience in drainage analysis
And/or professional development course in SWMM, TR-20 or similar tools.
6Module 1
Participants should have ability to convert between US Customary and SI units
Participant should have practical computer skills typical of practicing engineers Familiarity with MS Excel Familiarity with files, directories, paths
7Module 1
Day 1 Overview of HEC-HMS
▪ Hydrology review as appropriate. ▪ Hands-on use of most components by following
examples and exercises in a workshop environment.▪ Some regard to parameter values, but mostly get the
feel for different parts of the program.
8Module 1
Day 2 Parameterize HEC-HMS models
▪ Hydrology review as appropriate. ▪ Effort on proper parameter estimation for modeling.▪ Using calibration algorithms
9Module 1
Day 3 Added realism in HEC-HMS models
▪ Hydrology review as appropriate. ▪ Modeling change in a watershed▪ Course Assessment (Examination)
10Module 1
Course presented in Modules Lecture Examples Exercises
▪ Copies in binder and on flash-drive Assessment
▪ Module 24 is a formal graded assessment.
11Module 1
Software Required HEC-HMS installed and running
▪ Running copy on the flash drive. Exercise 1 is to validate function
▪ TSD can install on your work computer MS Office Suite (or similar Open Office suite).
▪ Assumed already installed on your work computer.
12Module 1
Printed Materials Course Manual
▪ Lecture copies▪ Reference excerpts (where appropriate)▪ Exercises
13Module 1
What’s on the flash-drive? Electronic copies of the course manual Excel files and HEC-HMS files used in
examples Complete copies of various references
▪ Hundreds of pages, print as needed when you start using the software at work.
