HEC-HMS (Hydrologic Engineering Center’s Hydrologic Modeling System) is a computer program developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for hydrological modeling. It is used to simulate the hydrological processes that occur in a watershed, such as precipitation, runoff, evapotranspiration, and infiltration.

You can refer to this article on the USACE website for more information: https://www.hec.usace.army.mil/confluence/hmsdocs/hmsag/introduction/what-is-hec-hms-and-what-is-its-role
