This tutorial is specially
developed to learn how the WMS 8.0 interface facilitates
hydrologic modeling using HEC-HMS 3.1.0. The watershed data
used for this tutorial can be downloaded from
here. Judy's Branch
watershed lies in the state of Illinois. It is a small, semi-urban watershed with an area approximately
of 8.6 square miles.
The study we are performing
with El Cajon watershed in Mexico is essentially repeating
the same process performed in the tutorial. So, before starting
to work with El Cajon, it is advisable to work through the Judy's
Branch tutorial.

WMS-GSSHA Tutorial
The tutorial for WMS-GSSHA
(Gridded Surface Subsurface Hydrologic Analysis) can be found
here. Similarly, the data necessary to complete the tutorial
is attached here. Because GSSHA is a more physically based and sophisticated
model, a great deal of information about the watershed is necessary
for better modeling. At this stage, it appears that complete GSSHA modeling
is not feasible for the entire watershed of El Cajon, due to
the lack of
detailed land use and soil information. Therefore, GSSHA will
only be
used for a small tributary in the watershed. This will demonstrate how GSSHA can be
implemented, its benefit over other lumped models, and will
give a better picture of what data is necessary for modeling
in GSHHA.
