[GRASS-user] About Flood, Erosion and hydrological modelling

[Venkatesh Raghavan]

Dear All,

Doing a bit of work with tram in Vietnam using HEC-RAS and
HEC-GeoRAS. It would be nice to have a GRASS interface to
HEC-RAS. HEC-GeoRAS below is an interface for ArcGIS.
Perhaps a project for some student or Google Summer of Code?

I have also included some other modelling tools related to
flood/hydrology, erosion etc. Perhaps you know most of it already.
In future, it may be world considering
how some of these models can be put to work together to
bring out more comprehensive output of physical processes.
For example there is already some work on integrating HEC-RAS with
MODFLOW.
