Tech Talk Replay from June 29, 2020. Amanda Deans demonstrates a simple HydroCAD model. She used the same simple drainage area from the ‘Intro to HEC-HMS’ Tech Talk (June 15, 2020) to demonstrate the difference between HEC-HMS and HydroCAD, as well as to show how utilizing storage in a drainage area is completed using HydroCAD.
