The study area included 73 square miles of drainage area, parts of which were located in the City of Temple, Texas, extraterritorial areas, and within the County of Bell, Texas. Goals of the studies included generating hydrologic and hydraulic models, mapping existing and projected land uses in the region, as well as developing recommendations for the siting of floodwater detention ponds. Another objective of the project was to update regional National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Flood Insurance Rate Maps.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65396196 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"65396196\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Building a Model from the Ground Up<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-90ec8ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"90ec8ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As with many projects of this scale and scope, building several functioning hydraulic models for the watersheds presented a significant challenge.

GeoHECRAS makes it straightforward to create and edit cross sections, terrain models, DEM files, creek banks, contours, ineffective flow areas, bridges, flow data and virtually any structural elements encountered in and near waterways. The hydraulic model cross section geometries and ground point reductions were easily implemented. GeoHECRAS proved nearly indispensable at several points of the project and created significant efficiencies throughout.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ec52781 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2ec52781\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-486270ce elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"486270ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"837\" height=\"459\" src=\"https:\/\/www.civilgeo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/GeoHECRAS-kpa.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2895\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.civilgeo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/GeoHECRAS-kpa.webp 837w, https:\/\/www.civilgeo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/GeoHECRAS-kpa-300x165.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.civilgeo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/GeoHECRAS-kpa-768x421.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 837px) 100vw, 837px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49fc6c92 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"49fc6c92\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35f7dd1e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"35f7dd1e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGeoHECRAS provided KPA with the tools needed to achieve maximum productivity in several areas.
