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

Please visit our updated Melbourne Course page at hydroschool.org/melbourne/.

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.

Thanks for those who attended one of our six previous courses in Melbourne. We hope to return in 2019 with a dam break workshop and advanced flood modelling courses.

Previous Melbourne Courses:

We were pleased to have The RAS Solution and Breaking the HEC-RAS Code author Chris Goodell in Melbourne to teach our inaugural HEC-RAS 5.0 course in April 2016. The course was well attended and we received extremely positive feedback from course attendees. Our October 2016 Melbourne course was held in conjunction with ICE WaRM and covered both 1D and 2D modeling over 5 days.

Here is a flyer with previous course details (click for pdf version):

We have added all new VIC-based case studies for the HEC-RAS 2D modelling course, including diversion drains, direct rainfall/rain on grid, and urban and coastal flooding. In response to feedback from our previous courses, we are also incorporating workshops with hydraulic structures, GIS interfacing, and terrain manipulation within HEC-RAS. Each day’s course runs from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm. Following is an outline of the proceedings:
