HEC-GeoRAS River Hydraulics Model ArcInfo/ ArcView GIS Topographic Survey Hydrographic Survey Floodplain & Channel TIN HEC-RAS Standard Hydraulic Geometry TIN Processing Cross Sections Extraction WSE @ Cross Sections HEC-RAS HEC-2 Cross Sections Intersect Continuous WS with Land (terrain-based interpolation) Inundated Area FLOODPLAIN MAP

  16. HEC-GeoRAS (ArcView) • GIS pre-processor for HEC-RAS: • Cut cross sections • Define main channel bank stations • Calculates reach lengths • Defines roughness coefficients • GIS post-processor of HEC-RAS results: • Calculate and display flood inundation maps • Spatially displays HEC-RAS depth and velocity output

  17. RAS/GeoRAS; Quasi-2D Reno, NV

  18. RAS Schematic From GeoRAS

  19. Flood Inundation, Reno, NV
