1 George Mason University Department of Civil, Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering Dr. Celso Ferreira Prepared by Lora Baumgartner December 2015 Revised by Brian Ross July 2016 Exercise Topic: Getting started with HEC-GeoHMS Objectives: Create a HEC-HMS model of the George Mason University watershed using the GeoHMS toolbar in ArcMap. a) Terrain Preprocessing b) Generating a GeoHMS Project c) Basin Processing d) HMS Parameters e) HMS Export f) Running HMS Challenges: a) Find an appropriate CN table for the region and prepare a more elaborated land cover re-classification of the NLCD and create a CN look up table. Repeat your analyses. How does that impact your design hydrograph? b) After opening the GeoHMS file in HEC-HMS, what information is missing? Complete HMS set-up in order to run it. Change Metl model to a SCS storm and use Fairfax County IDF curves to estimate a 100 yr design storm. Run HMS and plot the final hydrograph. **Refer to the HEC-GeoHMS User Manual for definitions and context of the steps and tools in this tutorial, currently found at Tutorial DEM obtained from GMU Campus Lidar file (provided) Versions used for this tutorial: HEC-GeoHMS 10.2, ArcMap (Student), ArcCatalog

2 Prepare Project Workspace 1. Enable the Hec-GeoHMS toolbar under the Customize > Toolbars menu in ArcMap. 2. Select Add Data under the File > Add Data menu. 2

3 3. Locate the folder location of the GMU Campus Lidar DEM. 4. Select the GMU DEM. 5. Click Add. 6. If ArcMap suggests pyramidbuilding at this point, click Yes. 7. Select Add Data under the File > Add Data menu. 3

4 8. Select Topographic or other preferred base map. 9. Click Add. 10. Disable the DEM layer to fully view the basemap. 11. Zoom to the campus area, leaving a generous border around the campus perimeter. 4

5 12. Select Data Frame Properties from the View menu. 13. Near the bottom of the dialog box, select Clip to shape from the Clip options drop-down menu. 14. Click Specify Shape. 15. Confirm that the Current Visible Extent radio button is selected. 16. Click OK. On the Data Frame Clipping dialog box. 17. Click OK to clip all data layers (DEM and basemap) to the applicable geographic area. Clipping the data layers limits the amount of data in the project and speeds processing.
