June 2019 Newsletter Surface Water Solutions
New online courses now open for registration

In addition to our standard 1D and 2D modelling courses, we have added new, specialised courses to our online offerings. New courses include hydraulic structures, sediment transport, dam breach, and HEC-HMS. Click here for further details. 

Latest release: HEC-RAS Version 5.0.7

Click here to download the latest version of HEC-RAS released in March 2019, which includes a number of bug fixes and improvements as documented in the release notes.
 
Coming soon: HEC-RAS Version 5.1
We are looking forward to the upcoming beta testing phase for HEC-RAS Version 5.1, which will include spatially varying rainfall, infiltration, and many other new features that will help make HEC-RAS a more powerful rainfall-runoff modelling tool. Get a preview of the new features in our free webinar video  here. We will continue to post updates on the anticipated release timelines to our  subscribers .
 
Dam Breach in Auckland 8-9 October 2019

We are collecting expressions of interest for our next dam breach course, which will be held in Auckland prior to the joint ANCOLD/NZSOLD conference. We're also continuing our annual HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS courses in Auckland in March 2020. Register your interest for either course here

We're almost half-way to 2020 already, but there are still lots of exciting things coming in the world of hydraulic modelling before we close out the decade. First of all, we're excited to be embarking on a road trip around the U.S. and Canada in July and August that will include a number of HEC-RAS courses along the way!
 

If you're in North America, please check out our website at www.surfacewater.biz/usa/ and sign up for a scheduled course or request a stop along the way. Registrations are closing soon, so don't wait until it's too late!  Academic and professional membership discounts are available. 
Just released: Free hydraulic structures webinar!

Watch the free recording of our recent webinar covering 1D, 2D, and 3D modelling of hydraulic structures. If you'd like to dive further into modelling structures yourself, sign up for our upcoming online hydraulic structures course.
