 Tool for Processing Hydrologic Parameters for HCFCD HEC-HMS Simulations Track: Water Resources Author(s): Will Meyer, Andrew Sauer, Justin Saarinen, Eric Grimison A key objective for the Harris County Watershed Master Plan was to develop a tool set for batch processing hydrologic parameters of existing and future landscape conditions across the watersheds and sub-watersheds in Harris County, Texas. The HEC-HMS Kinematic Wave tool extracts information from terrain, boundary and channel datasets and user input to build files that initialize a HEC-HMS hydrologic simulation for each sub-watershed. These parameters include the kinematic plane slope, length and roughness, and kinematic wave main channel length, slope roughness, shape, width, and side slope. The Kinematic Wave tool is written for ArcGIS in the VBA programming language utilizing ArcObjects. The scheme of hydrologic features used by the tool, including watersheds, catchments, and drainage channels, follows the Arc Hydro data model.
