Example 6AElementary HEC-HMS Model
PurposeIllustrate the steps to create a functioning precipitation-runo model in HEC-HMS. The example is elementary in the sense that only a small set of HEC-HMS capabilities are employed Realistic parameter values are employed from public-domain references, but the example is fabricated for pedagogical simplicity.
Learning ObjectivesFamiliarize students with the HEC-HMS Graphical User Interface. Reinforce the concepts of Projects as a data-storage paradigm.Simulate the rainfall-runo response of a single sub-basin Texas watershed using:Initial loss and constant rate loss modelSCS Unit Hydrograph transformation modelUser-specied hyetograph.
Problem StatementSimulate the response of the Ash Creek watershed at Highland Road for a 5-year, 3-hour storm, under current development conditions. Treat the entire watershed as a single sub-basin.
Problem StatementWatershed OutletHighland Road and Ash Creek, Dallas, TX.Area is residential subdivisions, light industrial parks, and some open parkland.White Rock Lake is water body to the North-West
Precipitation EstimationPrecipitationEstimate 5-year, 3-hour storm depth using the DDF Atlas
Precipitation EstimationPrecipitationApproximate the storm temporal distribution using dimensionless hyetograph.
Loss Model EstimationRunoff Generation (Loss)Estimate the initial abstraction and constant rate loss using TxDOT 0-4193-7
Transformation Model EstimationUnit Hydrograph Timing ParametersExample will use the SCS DUH, but will parameterize assuming GUHAS regression is appropriate.

Building The Model Data PreparationHEC-HMS will require us to construct, external to HMS the following:A Hyetograph (rainfall)Loss model parametersTransform model parametersIn this example will use Excel to build some input data required by the program.
Use the DDF atlas to find the 5-year, 3-hour storm depth for Dallas Texas.About 2.8 in.Rainfall Depth
Generate a HyetographDimensionless Hyetograph is parameterized to generate an input hyetograph that is 3 hours long and produces the 5-year depth.We wont actually use the graph, instead use the tabular values in the report.For this example, will use the median (50th percentile) curve0 3 hours0 2.8 inches
We wont actually use the graph, instead use the tabular values in the report.This column scales TIMEThis column scales DEPTH
Dimensional Hyetograph
Dimensional HyetographUse interpolation to generate uniformly spaced cumulative depths.HEC-HMS can handle irregular interval data, but requires use of DSSVue.Reasonable alternative is interpolation.This example will interpolate external to HEC-HMS, then import the results.
Input HyetographWe will use this column in HEC-HMS and specify a 5-minute rainfall time-series.

HEC-HMS ExampleLearn moreHEC HMS quick start guide (similar problem, more sub-basins)RemarksToo large to model in SWMM as a single catchment. (Can make it work, but hard to justify)More typical is to subdivide the watershed into parts and link with conduits; need some insight into flow patterns, etc.
