Summary: | This is an advanced-level Watershed Modeling System (WMS) course. Attendees should have a working knowledge of WMS and/or attended a previous WMS training. This course is designed as a hands-on, application-oriented training course for making hydrologic estimates using various techniques in the Watershed Modeling System (WMS). The demonstrations, exercises, and workshops use a site assessment procedure to develop the hydrologic model for Pennsylvania watersheds with common PennDOT scenarios. This course emphasizes the use of the HEC-1 model and USGS Regression (WRIR 00-4189, SIR 08-5102, and SIR 19-5094) methods in WMS and addresses more complicated hydrologic modeling issues related to watershed subdividing, routing, and storage.

Learning Outcomes: | Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:
-Use digital information to automate basin delineation, calculate basin geometry, create land use and soils coverages, and calculate hydrologic watershed parameters in WMS;
-model subdivided watersheds in WMS using HEC-1 and appropriate channel routing techniques;
-model watersheds with storage in WMS using HEC-1 and reservoir routing;
-use WMS to build hydrologic models with the USGS regression method (SIR 08-5102); and
-determine the applicability of HEC-1 versus USGS regression
