Hydraulic Modeling NYSDOT - McKinstry Creek, Mansfield Creek
• The Problem:– Expansion of State
expressway will impact wetlands. Client required to perform mitigation projects to improve fish habitat in two creeks.
• The Solution:– Use the HEC-RAS
hydraulics model– Predict low flow depths
(fish passage); flood inundation area (100 year flood); sediment scour and sediment stability
– Use the SWAT model and Bank Stability model to predict overland runoff and bank erosion sediment loads
– Use the HEC-RAS SIAM module to predict sediment scour, deposition, and equilibrium
