"Solid for backwater analysis for steady-state"
3.5/5
What do you like best about HEC-RAS?

I like the results it gives and the ability to put together culvert calcs, depths, junctions, and tie it into one, large backwater analysis. I also like how quick it is to see results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
