GeoHECRAS is the Current and the Future
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use GeoHECRAS in our organization for flood line studies and hydraulic analysis. The product allows us to determine critical flood levels and the extent of the flood lines and how it affects certain developments and/or bridge and culvert structures or how a proposed development will affect surrounding areas and the natural watercourse. We are able to hydraulically size bridges/culverts accordingly.
