Synopsis:

If your work or academic studies involve floodplain management, then a copy of Floodplain Modeling Using HEC-RAS needs to be on your desk. This comprehensive textbook offers expert instruction and practical advice for floodplain modelers and managers. It then goes a step further and shows readers how to apply HEC-RAS, the worldwide standard simulation tool from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

About the Author: Gary Dyhouse, M.S., P.E., is an engineering consultant specializing in hydrology and hydraulics. He has served as an expert witness for the State of California, worked as a levee expert for a large project propsed in the southeastern United States, performed and reviewed water surface profile anayses, and conducted several workshops on HEC-RAS. Mr. Dyhouse worked for 32 years with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, primarily as Chief of Hydrologic Engineering for the St. Louis District.
