Developing Simulations in HEC-ResSim

In previous posts, the development of multiple watershed configurations, multiple reservoir networks, multiple operations sets, and multiple alternatives was discussed.  These posts can be found at the following links:

Multiple Watershed Configurations

Multiple Reservoir Networks

Multiple Operations Sets


Multiple Alternatives


This post will discuss the development of simulations in HEC-ResSim.

Each simulation in HEC-ResSim will be defined with a lookback date, a simulation start date, and a simulation end date.  Within a simulation, multiple alternatives can be simulated.

In the screenshot below, the simulation is defined as follows:

Lookback date = 05Jan2016 at 12:00 hours

Simulation start date = 10Jan2016 at 12:00 hours

Simulation end date = 25Jan2016 at 18:00 hours

There are two alternatives available to be simulated.  These alternatives are named "exist alt" and "prop alt".  The reservoir networks associated with the simulations are "existing" and "proposed".




The simulation control window is shown below.


Multiple alternatives can be simulated through the use of the Simulation Manager shown below.
