HEC-HMS Computer Workshop
Purpose and Background
The design of most hydraulic structures (e.g., culverts, open channels, reservoirs, etc.) require
either a peak discharge or an inflow hydrograph. Hydraulic assessments (e.g. flood elevations,
sediment transport, contaminant transport, etc.) are also generally preceded by hydrologic studies.
How do engineers perform these hydrologic studies? Take heart — HEC-HMS does the job.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) is well known for its
hydrologic and hydraulic software. HEC-1 has been one of the primary hydrologic models used
by American engineers for over two decades. HEC-HMS (hydrologic modeling system) is part of
the “new generation” software that has replaced HEC-1 and is now considered the leading, most
versatile public domain tool for conducting hydrologic analysis. The thought and effort that went
into this Windows version program has made it as popular as its standard hydraulics software
counterpart, the river analysis system model (HEC-RAS).
HEC-HMS takes full advantage of the multi-tasking, Windows environment. It includes a graphicaluser interface, data storage and management features, integrated hydrologic analysis components,
and graphical and tabular reporting facilities. Inputting your watershed is akin to building something with Legos (or tinkertoys for us old guys). Icons representing sub-basins are grabbed from
a palette, placed in the workspace, and interconnected with stream, reservoir, and junction icons.
By clicking on these icons, you open up data input boxes (which request information, like lengths,
areas, infiltration parameters, etc.). Finally, you input the rainfall characteristics and launch the
model. It’s so intuitive, even your boss will finally understand what you do!
HEC-HMS provides a variety of options for simulating the rainfall-runoff process:
– Precipitation can be modeled using either actual gauged events or hypothetical
(frequency based) storms
– Rainfall losses are represented empirically (SCS) or with physically based algorithms
(Green and Ampt)
– Runoff is generated from unit hydrograph transforms or the physically based kinematic
wave method
– Stream routing options include the Muskingum, Modified-Puls, Muskingum-Cunge, and
kinematic wave methods
– Reservoir routing, base flow, dam break analysis, and diversions can also be modeled
Workshop Goals
This “hands-on” computer workshop will introduce you to HEC-HMS and teach you how to use it
with confidence. This is accomplished in a cooperative learning environment. Short lectures will
be supplemented with example problems (on the computer) and question and answer sessions.
After attending this two day workshop and seminar, you will feel comfortable enough with HECHMS to begin using it immediately.
– Input requirements and output interpretation will come naturally
– The manuals and on-line help will not seem overwhelming
– You will know how to find the proper procedures for handling unusual situations
Using sample problems, the workshop will take you through HEC-HMS step-by-step. On the first
day, you will learn about the background and general capabilities of the model. In addition, you
will work with the basin, precipitation, and runoff modules of the model. The second day will be
reserved for covering stream routing, reservoir routing, dam break analysis, model execution, and
the analysis of our results. We will also cover some special topics, including a session introducing
the HEC-GeoHMS, the public domain GIS interface program that has been developed as a HECHMS companion.
Special Features
Learning Outcomes and Assessment of Learning Outcomes
Workshop participants will receive a CD containing the HEC-HMS user’s manual and software.
Who Should Attend
If your work requires hydrologic modeling, for applications such as watershed studies, stormwater management projects, flood elevation determinations, dam break analysis, and sediment or
contaminant transport analyses, this workshop is for you. The seminar includes lectures and class
exercises on hydrologic algorithms, as well as practical hands-on applications using HEC-HMS.
Level of Instruction: This seminar is intended for people with some hydrologic background and a
need for instruction in the techniques and applications of hydrologic modeling. The seminar will
give you confidence in applying HEC-HMS or other hydrologic models to water related projects.
Seminar Instructors
This seminar will be taught by two of the following instructors.
Siavash E. Beik, P.E., D.WRE, CFM, M.ASCE, is the head of the Water Resources
Department at the Indianapolis Office of Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd.
He has over 25 years of professional experience in water resources planning
and management, hydrology and hydraulics, and project management. He has
developed and managed several complex stormwater master plans, flood protection projects, and flood insurance studies involving intensive modeling with
HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, UNET, and ICPR. He has been the principal editor, author,
or co-author of a number of technical guidebooks, including the Indiana Drainage Handbook,
Indiana Dam Safety Inspection Manual, and Hydrologic/Hydraulics Modeling Guidelines.
Scott J. Kenner, Ph.D., P.E., Aff.M.ASCE, is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at South Dakota School of Mines and Technology specializing in watershed hydrologic monitoring and modeling, and 2D hydraulic
modeling of river systems for habitat characterization. He has over 25 years of
consulting and research experience. Project applications include urban stormwater master planning, floodplain analysis and delineation, watershed assessment for total maximum daily loads using various hydrologic models including
HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, SWMM and HSPF. He has integrated GIS applications with these models,
taught seminars on SWMM and water quality data analysis; and teaches a semester course using
HEC-HMS, GeoHMS, HEC-RAS and GeoRAS.
Thomas T. Burke Jr., Ph.D., P.E., CFM, is the head of the Water Resources Departmentat the Rosemont office of Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. where
he oversees a staff of 24 water resources engineers. He has over 10 years of consulting experience. His professional experience includes hydrologic and hydraulic
analysis, feasibility studies, FEMA floodplain and floodway map revisions, stormwater master plans and watershed studies. He serves as a Governor for Region 3
of ASCE. He has taught numerous hydrologic and hydraulic modeling seminars
and he has co-authored several books and manuals on stormwater.
