HEC-HMS Modeling Workshop

California Water and Environmental Modeling ForumSacramento City Hall Council Chamber

May 28, 2008

Workshop Purpose

Introduce participants to:

• HEC-HMS theory and structure

• Some applications of the model

• Calibration and verification of the model.

CWEMF

• Mission: to increase the usefulness of models for analyzing California’s water-related problems

• Provide a consensus-building atmosphere on water-related issues

CWEMF Services

• Facilitate open, constructive discussion of conflicting opinions on physical, chemical, biological, and economic modeling

• Conduct problem-solving workshops to address technical disagreements

• Organize technical training and educational workshops

CWEMF Services, cont.

• Coordinate model development, refinement, and use through interagency model user groups
