New LinkedIn Groups
 
Please join our new Linked in groups for Dam Breach and Sediment Transport.
 
Consulting Services
  
If you have any needs related to review or QA/QC of deliverables, setting up new models, troubleshooting models,  drainage design, flood mapping, dam assessment, or other items, please see our consulting services.
 
If additional training needs arise in the future, we also offer specialised in-house training that can be customised to suit your needs.
 
Workshop Guide
 
For those who have worked through our new workshop guide, please submit  any comments or suggestions for improvement to future versions. We will provide complimentary download links to previous course attendees as future versions of the workshop guide are published. 
  
HEC-RAS Blog
  
If you haven't done so already, please subscribe to the RAS Solution blog, where  we post updates relevant to HEC-RAS modelling.
 
We would love to find out how HEC-RAS is being used around the world, particularly for any completed projects, so if you use HEC-RAS for an upcoming international project, please contribute your own articles to share on the blog.
Feedback
   
Previous course attendees can continue to submit additional feedback with our online survey.

This newsletter highlights some of the exciting new developments in HEC-RAS along with a range of opportunities for training; if there are specialised topics you would like to cover in more detail, I would be happy to customise further training options or consulting support tailored to your project requirements. Please contact us with any questions regarding open courses, in-house courses, online courses, workshop manuals, or water-related consulting services.
Free rain-on-grid webinar this week

Join us on 15 August (14th in the U.S. and Canada) for a free interactive webinar covering rain-on-grid modelling in HEC-RAS. We'll post the recording for those unable to participate in the live session. Agenda items and registration details are available  here along with recordings of previous webinars.



Just for fun!

This video introduces our upcoming course in New Zealand using - well, what else? - sheep herding with HEC-RAS! 
 

And this video introduces our European courses and answers the question of how large a tsunami would be needed to strike the Alps...while turning Denmark into an island with a new canal using terrain modification in HEC-RAS!
