HEC-RAS 5.0 Training in Darwin – Surface Water Solutions: Consulting and Software Training

Please visit our updated Courses page at hydroschool.org/courses/.

All continuing education resources previously listed at surfacewater.biz have moved to hydroschool.org; going forward, the surfacewater.biz website will be dedicated to drainage-related consulting work only.

Below is the archived page.

We are planning tentative dates for our first course in Darwin structured around allowing participants to build, run, and animate two-dimensional flood models from scratch using the free HEC-RAS model.
